Abstract

ABSTRACT Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in China and Pakistan have shown great interest to participate in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). However, there is a dearth of reliable evidence on how SMEs can easily participate and get maximum benefits of the corridor. This research fills the gap by examining the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on the participation of CPEC through a sample of 211 Pakistani SMEs. The emphasis is placed on entrepreneurial orientation, rather than statutory regulations and governmental invention, to meet the desired objectives of CPEC. The results indicate that innovativeness, pro-activeness and risk-taking significantly facilitate SMEs towards CPEC while autonomy and competitive aggressiveness do not influence the perception of top managers/owners about CPEC. Our research recommends SMEs create entrepreneurial culture (specifically innovative, proactive and risk-taking) to gain benefits from export/imports arising CPEC. The findings also recommend policymakers initiate entrepreneurship programs and minimize regulations on internationalization among the SMEs..

创业导向是否鼓励巴基斯坦中小企业参与中巴经济走廊?
在中国和巴基斯坦经营的中小企业对参与中巴经济走廊表现出了极大的兴趣。然而,关于中小企业如何轻松参与并从走廊中获得最大利益,缺乏可靠的证据。本研究以211家巴基斯坦中小企业为样本,考察了创业导向对CPEC参与的影响,填补了这一空白。重点是创业导向,而不是法定法规和政府发明,以实现CPEC的预期目标。研究结果表明,创新性、主动性和冒险性显著促进了中小企业对CPEC的态度,而自主性和竞争侵略性不影响高层管理者/所有者对CPEC看法。我们的研究建议中小企业创造创业文化(特别是创新、主动和冒险),从出口/进口产生的CPEC中获得利益。研究结果还建议政策制定者启动创业计划,尽量减少对中小企业国际化的监管。。
