【摘要】 企业成长一直是理论界和产业界十分关注的问题。尤其是近年来随着信息产业的快速发展,IT企业在整个经济体系中的地位十分重要,其成长问题更是日益引起人们的高度重视。IT企业如何才能在市场竞争持续激烈、技术创新日益加快的环境中健康成长,已成为理论研究和实务领域的重要问题。本文通过大量的文献阅读分析,归纳总结了企业成长理论、企业生命周期理论的相关研究成果,以及我国IT企业成长的相关研究成果。其中重点研究了现代企业成长理论最具代表性的资源基础观企业成长理论,总结分析了关于企业资源能力体系的研究成果。资源基础观的企业成长理论认为企业成长的决定因素存在于企业内部,但没有顾及企业外部的各种影响因素,有一定的片面性。企业生命周期理论认为企业在其成长的不同阶段,关注的侧重点是不相同的,这尽管获得了广泛的认同,但只是停留在定性描述的层面上,缺乏基于大样本数据基础上实证分析的支持。本文在理论研究和企业访谈的基础上,揭示了IT企业成长的影响因素,全面系统地考查了其中的关键因素。这些关键因素体系包括企业家魅力、战略管理能力、人力资源管理能力、市场营销能力、企业文化、技术创新能力和企业外部关系能力。在文献研究及征询企业管理者和资深行业专家意见之后,本文分别就这些关键影响因素和IT企业成长性建立了测量指标,进而设计出调查问卷,并进行了问卷调查。本文借鉴已有的企业生命周期阶段划分方法,将我国IT企业生命周期划为四个阶段:创业阶段、快速发展阶段、相对稳定阶段和二次创业阶段,并对其中处于前三个阶段的IT企业成长性进行了研究。在前述基础之上,本文通过使用SPSS统计软件对回收的调查问卷进行了统计分析,验证了调查问卷的信度和效度;采用结构方程模型分析方法,得出了我国IT企业在不同成长阶段,上述七类关键影响因素对企业成长性影响程度的变化;以及在同一成长阶段中,各类影响因素的相对重要性,并进行了排序。本文所做研究在IT企业成长研究领域具有一定的探索性和开拓性,研究内容紧密结合我国IT企业发展实践,研究成果丰富了我国IT企业成长的实证研究,对IT企业管理实践具有一定的借鉴意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 The issue of sustainability and growth of business enterprises has been regarded as fundamental concerns by academic circles and business communities. In recent years in particular, with the rapid development of information industries, IT enterprises have played an increasingly important role in the economy. As a result, how IT enterprises are started and grow up has drawn a higher degree of attention from both academic and practical perspectives. The key issue of concern is how IT companies can grow stronger and operate in a sustainable manner in a context in which fierce market competition and fast rate of technology innovation are taking place constantly. Based on the understanding and analysis of sufficient research literature and drawn upon the research achievements on IT enterprise growth in China, this paper summarizes the merits of enterprise theories and further develops the framework of enterprise life-cycle theories. It focuses its research effort on the resource-based theories of enterprise development which is the most representative of the contemporary theoretical analysis on business enterprise growth.The paper also highlights the main findings of research on resource-based analysis of the enterprise competencies. Conventional resource-based theory views the enterprise growth as determined by factors within the enterprises themselves, which apparently is an important progress. However, it shows limitation in not taking into account the varying external factors. Enterprise life-cycle theory believes that enterprises in different stages of growth should be studied with a different focus. This view has been widely accepted. Its weakness, though, lies in the fact that its approach is mostly qualitative, lacking sufficient support from quantitative analysis of the empirical data. This research has based its study on the existing theoretical framework and practical data collected from field interviews, by which a system composed of key factors on enterprise growth is developed. A variety of key factors affecting enterprise growth in different phases and scales are examined. These factors include personal charisma of entrepreneurs, strategic management competence, human resources management capability, marketing skills, capabilities for corporate culture, technology innovative capability and external relations management. A system of empirical data measurement for key factor analysis is developed on the basis of previous research literature and consultation with IT business professionals and senior industry experts. A comprehensive survey questionnaire is also designed within this measurement system.Referring to the existing theories of enterprise life cycle, this paper interprets Chinese IT enterprises by four development phases: startup, high-speed growth, stabilized development and re-innovation. The research focuses on the growth patterns of the IT enterprises in their first three development phases.Applying SPSS statistical software program to the analysis of the data collected, the reliability and validity of the questionnaire are tested and verified. The research explores and finds the degree of influence by the above-mentioned seven key factors to China’s IT enterprises in their different development stages. These key factors are also ranked in terms of the sequence of their importance.The findings of this research adds value to the empirical studies on China’s IT enterprises’growth. It may help advance the management practices of the IT enterprises in China.更多还原
