This paper analyzes how the cooperation among the privately-owned enterprises (POEs), the local government, and the State-owned enterprises produces the Privately Owned National Champions (PONCs) and further devotes its attention on explaining how the PONCs can influence the policy made by the central government, and the different typologies of institutional changes of Chinese state capitalism. Using Alibaba as the main focus of this paper, this research shows that the appearance of PONCs is highly correlated to the local government's policy purpose. On the one hand, the insufficiency of the regulatory institutions in the e-commerce industry causes slacks, so the PONCs are able to explain those incomplete institutions, which in turn causes the local government to make biased choices based on these slacks. As a result, this cooperation creates the shared interests of the POEs and the local governments, which shows the change of their cooperation model from layering to conversion. Thus, POEs can expand their market shares, as well as earn the resources equivalent to the state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and ultimately, have the ability to suppress them to become the PONCs. |
