註釋The concept of transnational entrepreneurshipcombines the two research fields of research and international business.Transnational entrepreneurship is defined as the exceptional qualities requiredin the processes of creating and sustaining particular business ventures acrossnational boundaries by social actors. This research posits that transnational entrepreneurship has become aphenomenon of such importance that it should be examined from not only abusiness management perspective but also from a social scienceperspective.A comparative study of transnational entrepreneurship ispresented by comparing Hong Kong and Singapore, two regions with differingpolitical economies but with comparable cultural and historical-geographicalsimilarities. In spite of these similarities, both countries haveextremely different economic structures, attributed to each state's differingrole in promoting entrepreneurial activities, and this institutionalperspective is one component of interpretation and analysis usedherein.The networks of firms and of entrepreneurs are also keyframeworksused in analyzing internationalization processes. An analysis of firms from Singapore and from Hong Kong used a range ofprimary and secondary data. Motives for internationalization were foundto differ - in Singapore, e.g., private entrepreneurs reluctantlyinternationalize, in response to limited opportunities within Singapore,whereas in Hong Kong it is a more natural growth process. The future of Chinese business research is also examined, including itsstrong focus on business networks. Such research often has fourweaknesses - static analysis, small family firm bias, lack of attention tocapital sourcing, and structural determinism. It is argued that furtheranalysis of internationalization and entrepreneurship are needed, from broaderinstitutional perspectives.(AKP).
