Abstract

Export and outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) are the main approaches for enterprises to implement internationalization strategy, and theoretically, the productivity of OFDI enterprises is higher than that of export enterprises, but is there a paradox that the productivity of Chinese OFDI enterprises is lower than that of export enterprises? In this study, relevant listed high-tech manufacturing enterprises are selected for sample study (for the period from 2012 to 2018) to discuss the relationship between internationalization strategy choice and productivity of enterprise using a regression equation constructed from Probit model. The results show that there is no “productivity paradox” in the internationalization strategy of high-tech manufacturing enterprises in general. However, through sub-sample regression of listed enterprises by ownership and industry, it is found that foreign-invested enterprises and enterprises in some industries are affected by factors such as business environment, local policies and their own internationalization “genes”. Their internationalization strategy choices are independent of productivity, and there is a “productivity paradox”.
