By using the firm-level pooled data collected from 2014 to 2019, which included basic information of the companies, their questionnaire responses, and interview records of 746 companies invested by/with Chinese entrepreneurs in Taiwan (about 53.7% of the approved Chinese invested companies), this study aimed to analyze the performance of those Chinese companies whose operation was restricted in Taiwan, and discuss the main determinants for those Chinese enterpreneurs’ profitability. The regression results showed that the Chinese companies with background of SOE and foreign enterprises performed better, especially SOEs in service sector whose main market is in mainland China, and SOEs in manufacturing sector whose customers are mainly in Taiwan. In addition, the business model of using the existing technologies of Chinese companies to cooperate with Taiwanese talents has a positive impact on the performance of those Chinese companies in Taiwan, especially in the service industry. Finally, regarding the environment, the industrial cluster in northern Taiwan showed positive impact on the performance of Chinese companies in Taiwan, especially for those in manufacturing sectors. And those who concretely expressed that facing operational obstacles earned less after-tax profit, especially for those in service sector. In conjunction with the interview records, in order to “maintain a foothold in Taiwan”, Chinese investors with SOE background would try to find suitable operation models and dig out business opportunities in Taiwan with the resources from their parent group, even if they were usually banned from running the main business of their parent group. Therefore, they still present better performances compare to other Chinese invested companies in Taiwan. |
