- Abstract
Since the industry transformation in 1965, Singapore established state-owned enterprises known as government-linked corporations to overcome the lack of private sector expertise and spearhead the development of its economy. Furthermore, Singapore proposed the “quasi-entrepreneur” strategy, encouraging firms to expand abroad. As a result, this research investigates the role of the government in the link between the degree of internationalization and technological efficiency in Singapore-listed enterprises. The study also examines the impact of the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) on the relationship between those variables by dividing the periods into pre-economic integration and post-economic integration periods. Three hypotheses are developed and tested using Generalized least square (GLS) in Stata v.15, implemented on a sample of 117 firms across 31 industries from 2011-2020. The result shows an inverted U-shaped relationship between internationalization and technical efficiency, and firms with a low degree of state ownership outperform those with a high degree of state ownership. Furthermore, the finding suggests that economic integration affects the relationship between internationalization, technical efficiency, and degree of state ownership.
