The three papers in this dissertation investigate how institutional environment and firm characteristics influence Chinese firms' performance in the domestic market as well as in their international expansion process. I propose that institutional environment and firm specific characteristics influence Chinese firms' choices about corporate strategies, which lead to different outcome of performance including differences in foreign market entry attempts (chapter 1), foreign market expansion strategies and performance (chapter 2) and differences in the contribution of human capital to firms' financial performance (chapter 3). In Chapter 1, I utilize the concept of institutional distance to capture the gap between home and host country institutional settings and disaggregate institutional distance into political distance, economic distance and cultural distance. I empirically test the influence of these three institutional distances on the outcome of Chinese firms' foreign market entry attempt. The results show that political institution is negatively associated with the likelihood of Chinese firms successfully entering a foreign market and the effect is contingent on firm specific characteristics. In chapter 2, I focus on the quality of domestic institutional environment by measuring the unequal development among different dimensions of institutional environment. I use a step-wise approach to test how such inconsistency of development influence the propensity of Chinese small and medium sized firms (SMEs) to go abroad in their initial internationalization decision-making phase and their financial performance when they are seeking for international expansion. The results indicate SMEs are more likely to go to international market when their perception of the institutional quality is low but this low domestic institutional quality would hurt their firms' performance when they are seeking for international growth. Finally, in Chapter 3, I demonstrate the conditions under which firms could benefit from human capital. I find that the effect of human capital on firm performance is contingent upon the firm's position in the interlocking directorate network. Human capital is associated with superior performance only when network centrality is high. Together, this dissertation shows how institutional environment that facing Chinese firms influence firms' decisions on strategies, and thus how it influence firm performance in different situations.
