“…The dimensions are correlated, hence the null hypothesis can be accepted and it can be concluded that the five dimensions of EO are correlated in a statistically significant way. This is supported in the literature by Frese et al (2009), Bhuian et al (2005Richard, et al (2004); Stetz et al (2000) and Tan and Tan (2005).…”

“…Frese et al (2009) confirm that the five salient dimensions of EO usually show high interrelationships with each other. This notion is supported by Bhuian, Menguc, and Bell, (2005); Richard et al (2004) ;Stetz, Howell, Stewart, Blair and Fottler, (2000) and Tan and Tan, (2005). In this paper we contribute to the franchising literature by determining whether this fact holds true for franchisees and not necessarily for franchisors.…”

Franchisees play an important role in franchise systems, as they are responsible for managing their business and ensuring its overall performance. Since earlier research confirmed the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and performance, this study explores the effect of location on the five dimensions of EO for franchisees. This study assessed franchisees, their risk taking, innovation, pro-activeness, competitive aggression and autonomy, and investigated location clusters related to this. Location was investigated from a geographical and operational stance. A face-to-face survey was conducted among 104 franchisees operating in four major cities in the retail sector in South Africa. Two clusters were identified: 'operating inside of shopping centres' (50%) and 'operating outside of shopping centres' (50%). Contradictory to what was found in the literature, the results indicate that a franchisee is likely to be more entrepreneurially orientated when operating outside of a shopping mall in the Johannesburg region. The strongest and weakest EO dimensions in terms of cluster construction were identified. Furthermore we found that, since the EO dimensions are highly correlated, it is likely that a franchisee will experience high levels of all of the dimensions simultaneously and therefore share in the positively associated benefits of EO, such as growth and performance.

“…The Chinese context provides two advantages for this study. First, while the Chinese economy has become increasingly diverse and plural Tan & Tan, 2005), state owned or controlled firms remain the dominant force in the country's outward FDI (Chen & Young, 2010;Morck, Yeung, & Zhao, 2008). The prevalence of state ownership and the variation of the level of state ownership in individual Chinese firms allow us to capture its effect in firms' decision-making.…”

“…When such an MNE seeks to expand its presence in the host country, it may therefore leverage co-ethnic advantages for establishing additional subsidiaries (Luo, 2002;Tan & Tan, 2005). In addition, prior research suggests that market information in co-ethnic cores tends to flow easily among co-located MNEs (Hernandez, 2014;Kim, 2015;Tan & Meyer, 2011), making it relatively easier to expand from one coethnic core to another, instead of venturing into the periphery (Polanyi et al, 1957;Portes & Sensenbrenner, 1993;Waldinger, 1995).…”

Core or periphery? The effects of country-of-origin agglomerations on the within-country expansion of MNEs

We show how the initial subnational entry location of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) in China influences their subsequent within-country location choices and expansion speed. We distinguish between MNEs that establish their first subsidiary in co-ethnic cores -dense agglomerations of other firms from the same country of origin -and MNEs that locate their first subsidiary in the periphery, i.e., outside of these co-ethnic cores. To identify co-ethnic cores in China, we employ a geo-visualization methodology, which draws the boundaries of cores organically and dynamically over time. We contrast our findings with the prevailing approach of using static administrative boundaries for identifying agglomerations. Our results provide evidence of path dependency, in that (a) entry through subnational locations with strong co-ethnic communities is followed by expansion into other locations where co-ethnic communities are present, and that (b) entry through co-ethnic communities accelerates the pace at which MNEs establish additional subsidiaries in China. We also find that co-ethnic community effects continue to influence within-country MNE activities over time, despite a host of economic, institutional, and investment developments.
