“…However, few previous studies have applied survival analysis to investigate FDI survival duration for foreign affiliates. Lin et al (2009) andTan et al (2007) applied survival analysis to investigate FDI. Lin et al (2009) used survival analysis to examine the relationship between Taiwanese foreign investment behavior and duration.…”

“…the probability of early foreign investment increased). Tan et al (2007) used the Cox proportional hazards model to analyze the points in time at which Taiwanese businesses planned to enter China, and suggested that these decisions are influenced by both the Taiwanese and the Chinese economies and systems. The results indicated that a U-shaped relationship, rather than a linear one, exists between business scales and time points for entering the Chinese market.…”

“…When the scale of the business exceeded a specific level, it would face increased risk, which in turn would negatively influence the business' investment in China. Both Lin et al (2009) andTan et al (2007) used a survival model to analyze the time points for Taiwanese outward FDI to China. Using the wait duration for Taiwanese parent companies wanting to conduct foreign investments as the dependent variable, they emphasized the influence of time on the investment decisions of the parent companies.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the stability of Taiwanese and Japanese outward foreign direct investment (FDI) in China's food industry and explore the Cox proportional hazard model to examine the factors that may affect the duration and stability of FDI. Design/methodology/approach -The data used in this study come from firm-level survey conducted in different Chinese provinces. Based on the data, survival analysis on the determinants of FDI in China's food industry was constructed and used for analysis. Findings -Estimated results from the study show that the survival rates are higher for Taiwanese FDI than for Japanese FDI from 2003 to 2012. In addition, empirical results show a positive relationship between research and development (R&D) expenditure/domestic investment and the hazard rate, implying that Japanese investments with greater R&D expenditure and domestic investment would decrease the survival of FDI in China. On the contrary, Taiwanese investments with greater R&D expenditure and domestic investment would enhance the survival of FDI in China. Originality/value -It could be the first that survival comparisons across countries are conducted together in the relevant FDI studies of the food industry. For robustness, survival rates for ten major provinces and cities where affiliates conducted FDI in the food industry are examined.

“…Of the 45 first authors in the three volumes of MOR , only ten are from the Greater China region, less than 25 percent. Four are from mainland China (Lu et al., 2006; Luo, 2005; Xiao and Bjorkman, 2006; Zhang et al., 2006), three from Hong Kong (Choi and Chen, 2006; Huang et al., 2005; Tjosvold et al., 2006), one from Taiwan (Tan et al., 2007), and two from Singapore (Ang et al., 2007; Ng and Chua, 2006).

This issue marks the publication of three volumes of Management and Organization Review. I would like to take this opportunity to thank many people whose support and involvement have turned an idea into reality, to reflect on how MOR was started, what we have accomplished thus far, and to look ahead on the role of MOR in advancing Chinese management and organization research and thereby contribute to global management knowledge. Let me start by inviting you to go back in time to January 1998, and travel along the memory lane until today, the end of 2007, exactiy 10 years.

“…The same characteristics that help firms to benefit from early entry may also provide them with the organisational slack to defer entry decisions until market uncertainty is resolved. To understand how these firm characteristics influence entry timing requires a comparison of the effect of firm resources in regard to early entry versus deferred entry (Tan, Hung, & Liu, 2007).…”

The aim of this study was to explain the determinants of service industry firms' entry timing into new international markets. On the basis of the relevant literature, a framework was proposed comprising firm-specific, experience and industry factors. Linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between the factors, entry timing and subsequent performance. This study also investigated the timing of initial investment in a foreign market. The final sample contained 174 listed companies from various service industries in Taiwan. The latest financial data collected were from the year 2015. Based on the entry information of listed Taiwanese companies, the empirical results indicated that older firms exhibiting higher levels of internationalisation, having lower debt ratios and originating from more competitive sub-industries tend to enter new international markets earlier than other firms. Service industry companies exhibit superior performance if they enter the markets later. Furthermore, the study results support the idea that entry timing is a mediator between the factors and international performance, which helps companies achieve greater performance.
