同时发表的数据： The Impact of Home Country Network Embeddedness on Chinese Outward Foreign Direct Investment

We examine the impact of structural and relational embeddedness in home country network on outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) by Chinese manufacturing firms. We argue that the extent to which a firm’s network affects its OFDI is contingent upon both structural and relational network embeddedness. We conducted a survey to test our hypothesises.We targeted executive managers of middle and high seniority (C-suite level) to make sure respondents have good knowledge about OFDI. All executive managers have at least three years of management experience and accumulated rich information in their management positions (Kumar et al., 1993). The survey was conducted in 2013 through three channels: on-line survey supported by a third-party research agent; visits of the executive managers in their companies; and fact-to-face talks to executive managers who enrolled in the Executive MBA training programme. A total of 357 firms were targeted and 194 firms provided valid data, yielding a valid response rate of 54.3%.

本研究考察母国网络中的结构嵌入性与关系嵌入性对中国制造业企业对外直接投资（outward foreign direct investment, OFDI）的影响。本文提出，企业网络对其对外直接投资的作用程度，同时取决于结构与关系网络嵌入性两个维度。为检验所提出的假说，我们开展了问卷调查。
本次调研的受访对象为中高层及高管层（C-suite）执行经理，以确保受访者对企业对外直接投资具备充分认知。所有受访经理均拥有至少三年的管理经验，并在管理岗位上积累了丰富的行业信息（Kumar et al., 1993）。
调研于2013年通过三类渠道开展：由第三方研究机构支持的线上问卷调查、赴企业拜访执行经理，以及与参与高级管理人员工商管理硕士（Executive MBA, EMBA）培训项目的执行经理进行面对面访谈。
本次调研共确定357家企业为调研对象，最终回收有效数据194份，有效回收率达54.3%。
