摘要


網際網路數位化技術促進數位商業模式發展,影響數位國際企業(MNEs)全球投資模式,傳統國際化理論對數位MNEs國際化現象的適用性有待驗證。數位MNEs跨境購併為其主要投資模式之一,跨境購併的所有權選擇是國際化的關鍵課題,但過去研究對數位MNEs跨境購併的所有權選擇所知有限。過去的文獻將數位MNEs視為同質企業,忽略數位商業模式的差異可能影響國際化策略,此部分過去的研究較少觸及;再者,數位MNEs跨境購併選擇是否適用傳統的Uppsala國際化進程模型理論仍有爭議,值得深入探討。有鑒於既有研究存在缺口,本研究以數位商業模式區分數位MNEs的異質性,以資源基礎觀點、組織學習觀點及Uppsala國際化進程模型理論作為研究的理論背景,探討數位商業模式類型、廠商層次因素以及國家層次因素對跨境購併所有權選擇的相關性影響。本論文以美國、中國及印度數位MNEs為研究對象,使用SDC資料庫蒐集數位MNEs跨境收購交易筆數664筆,並採用STATA統計分析軟體及Logistic迴歸分析等方式進行研究資料分析。 研究發現重點如下:第一,就數位商業模式類型:完全數位商業模式偏好完全所有權併購方式;若數位商業模式的銷售與行銷層面涉及高網路密集度時,偏好完全所有權併購方式;若數位商業模式的生產與營運層面涉及高網路密集度時,則偏好部分所有權併購方式。此一研究結果顯示,不同類型的數位商業模式會影響數位MNEs跨境併購的所有權選擇。第二,廠商層次因素:收購者廠商規模越大,學習策略若採取應用型(收購動機偏向尋求市場),跨境併購偏好完全所有權。在跨境併購所有權選擇的影響因素,就廠商層次因素而言,廠商規模與學習策略有顯著影響。此一結果亦顯示,資源基礎觀點及組織學習觀點等傳統國際化理論適用於解釋數位MNEs跨境併購的所有權選擇。第三,國家層次因素:就母國相對優勢而言,已開發國家廠商跨境併購偏好完全所有權;當地市場規模越大,數位基礎建設較完備,跨境併購偏好完全所有權;制度距離越大,則跨境併購偏好部分所有權。在跨境併購所有權選擇的影響因素,就國家層次因素而言,母國相對優勢、市場規模、數位基礎建設及制度距離等因素有顯著影響。第四、文化距離與當地併購經驗對數位MNEs跨境收購的所有權選擇的影響並不顯著,推測可能原因來自網際網路的存在,生產或銷售服務過程可不必在當地設置實體據點,以致心理距離(例如:文化距離)、市場知識經驗(例如:當地併購經驗)兩項因素對資源承諾的影響不顯著,這並不支持1977年Uppsala國際化進程模型理論的基本假設,但符合Yamin and Sinkovics (2006) 線上國際化觀點,資源承諾受心理距離與市場知識經驗的影響不明顯。 本研究針對國際化理論在數位MNEs之跨境併購所有權選擇的適用性提出新的發現,可提供數位MNEs跨境併購所有權選擇之良好建議,對現代國際企業管理實務頗具參考價值。

This study employs the business model to distinguish digital MNEs heterogeneity and understand how the typology of the digital business model affects ownership choice in cross-border acquisitions of digital MNEs. Besides, this study extends the prior CBAs literature from the resource-based view, organizational learning perspectives, and Uppsala internationalization model. Our study was based on 664 digital MNEs’ CBAs between 2010 and 2018, using data from the Securities Data Company (SDC) Platinum database. Using logistic regression models, we statistically tested to understand how the typology of digital business model, firm-level factors and country-level factors differently influence the ownership choices of the U.S., Chinese and India digital MNEs involved in CBAs. This study found that the pure digital business model and high Internet intensity in marketing and sales increase the likelihood of full ownership in CBAs. However, high Internet intensity production and operations increase the likelihood of partial ownership in CBAs. In the firm-level factors, larger acquirer firm size and exploitation strategy increase the likelihood of full ownership in CBAs. In country-level factors, for digital MNEs from developed economies, market size increases the likelihood of full ownership in CBAs, whereas formal institutional distance reduces it. However, cultural distance and host country acquisition experience are not significantly related to the ownership choice in CBAs, thus overturning underlying assumptions of the Uppsala Internationalization model, but in line with Yamin and Sinkovics (2006) active online internationalization perspective. We offer several explanations for these different findings.
