Abstract
Based on resource dependence theory and organizational ecology by conducting literature review and theoretical analysis, we constructed an indicator system of how the growth of enterprises affects the regional environment. We selected large-scale industrial enterprises and small/medium industrial enterprises from 2007–2011 with five years of data from 29 provinces and cities in China to perform a comparative analysis. A correlation analysis shows that (1) natural resource & infrastructure environment, business environment, human resource environment, social & cultural environment, science & technology environment, political environment have an influence on enterprise growth, but show some differences; and that (2) partial correlation and regression analysis show that natural resources & infrastructure environment and business environment have a very significant impact on the results for the two types of enterprises. The human resource environment and social & cultural environment have no significant impact on the results for the two types of enterprises. Science & technology environment in large-scale industrial enterprises have a better positive impact than in small/medium industrial enterprises. In contrast, political environment in small/medium industrial enterprises have a better positive impact than in largescale industrial enterprises.
Highlights
Many studies show that enterprise growth performance is affected by regional environments, which creates differences in the level of enterprise development in different regions
This paper considers regional environments that affect enterprise growth performance as an indicator system, selects large scale industrial enterprise, small/medium industrial enterprise and regional environment factorrelated data of 29 provinces from 2007 to 2011 in China, and compares and analyses the data to explore this issue
Within a particular area of enterprise, a considerable part of the resources needed for growth come from the regional environment, and the regional environment is a source of resources required for enterprise growth
Summary
Many studies show that enterprise growth performance is affected by regional environments, which creates differences in the level of enterprise development in different regions. Numerous empirical studies have shown that regional resources, local government management efficiency, regional innovation, regional culture and other factors influence enterprise, and become the important factors influencing enterprise growth performance in different regions. In a specific country for a period of time, how can one determine the impact of different regional environmental factors on business growth or whether the degree of regional environment factors on different types of enterprise has a similar influence?. This paper considers regional environments that affect enterprise growth performance as an indicator system, selects large scale industrial enterprise, small/medium industrial enterprise and regional environment factorrelated data of 29 provinces from 2007 to 2011 in China, and compares and analyses the data to explore this issue
