Strategic Market Entry and Innovation in 3C Electronics The 3C electronics industry—computers, communication, and consumer electronics— is one of the most dynamic and competitive sectors in the global technology market. Companies in this industry constantly face decisions about entering new markets and investing in innovation to maintain competitive advantage. This research explores how asymmetric technology firms (firms with different technological capabilities) strategically decide whether to enter complementary markets and how much to invest in innovation. Understanding Complementary Markets Complementary markets are markets where products support or enhance each other. For example, smartphones and wearable devices, or computers and smart accessories. Expanding into these markets can create additional revenue opportunities and strengthen a firm’s ecosystem . However, entry decisions are complex because firms must consider innovation costs, market entry costs, and competition d...

Founder Characteristics and Innovation Strategies in Chinese Tech Firms Innovation is the lifeblood of technology-based enterprises, and founders play a crucial role in determining how firms pursue innovation. In emerging economies like China, founders’ personal backgrounds—especially their technical expertise and political connections—can strongly influence corporate strategies and long-term technological development. This study explores how founder characteristics shape innovation strategies in Chinese technology-based enterprises. Using panel data from companies listed on China’s Growth Enterprise Market between 2012 and 2023, the research examines the relationship between founders’ professional backgrounds, their concentration of power within firms, and the technological paths companies follow. The findings reveal an interesting contrast. Founders with strong technical expertise are more likely to promote innovation within their companies. Their knowledge and understanding of te...

Antitrust Enforcement and Peer Firm Innovation: Evidence from China’s Merger Review Introduction Innovation plays a crucial role in modern economic growth, and competition policy has increasingly focused on protecting and encouraging innovation. Antitrust enforcement, particularly in merger reviews, aims to prevent excessive market concentration and ensure fair competition. This study examines how antitrust enforcement in China’s merger review process influences the innovation activities of peer firms within the same industry. Research Objective The main objective of this study is to analyze whether antitrust enforcement actions affect the innovation level and innovation quality of peer firms . Peer firms are companies that are not directly involved in a merger case but operate in the same industry and are indirectly influenced by the competitive environment created by regulatory decisions. Methodology The research adopts the Staggered Difference-in-Differences (Staggered DID) e...
