摘要

政府发起的定点扶贫(TPA)运动不仅为企业提供了将其业务扩展到欠发达地区的机会,也给企业带来了为改善贫困状况做出贡献的相应负担。企业从事这项工作的动机与其业务战略与 TPA 活动的一致性密切相关。我们认为,采用成本领先方法的企业倾向于积极参与扶贫,这是因为它们的战略定位与扶贫活动的内在要求是一致的。而采取差异化战略的企业则受到外在压力的驱使而参与扶贫,因为它们面临着社会对其参与此类利他事业的更高期望。通过对 2017 年至 2020 年中国上市公司数据集的分析,我们的实证研究结果表明,成本领先战略和差异化战略与企业对 TPA 活动的贡献之间存在显著的相关性。而且,成本领先战略对企业参与扶贫活动的影响超过了差异化战略。如果企业在竞争中遇到追求差异化战略的对手,这种影响就会更加明显,因为对手可能会阻碍企业向高端市场发展。此外,在地方政府对经济的干预更为明显的情况下,差异化战略与企业参与扶贫之间的联系会更加紧密。本研究深入探讨了企业在商业战略框架内参与 TPA 运动的微妙动机,为政策制定者和商业从业者提供了启示。

An opportunity or burden? Firms' engagement in poverty alleviation campaign under different business strategies
The government‐initiated campaign for targeted poverty alleviation (TPA) not only affords corporations an opportunity to extend their presence into underdeveloped regions but also imposes a consequential burden upon them to contribute to ameliorating poverty. Firms' motivations in this endeavor are intricately linked to the alignment of their business strategies with the TPA activities. We posit that firms adopting a cost leadership approach are inclined to actively partake in poverty alleviation, due to a congruence between their strategic positioning and the activities intrinsic to poverty alleviation. And firms embracing a differentiation strategy are impelled by extrinsic pressures to engage in poverty alleviation, as they face heightened societal expectations regarding their involvement in such altruistic endeavors. Drawing from a dataset comprising Chinese listed firms from 2017 to 2020, our empirical findings bring to light a significant correlation between both cost leadership and differentiation strategies and firms' contributions to the TPA campaign. And, the impact of a cost leadership strategy on firms' involvement in poverty alleviation activities surpasses that of a differentiation strategy. This influence is further accentuated for firms contending with rivals pursuing a differentiated approach in the competitive landscape, which may block their way moving upmarket. Moreover, the nexus between a differentiation strategy and a firm's participation in poverty alleviation gains more strength where local government intervention in the economy is more pronounced. This study delves into the nuanced motivations that underpin firms' participation in the TPA campaign within the framework of business strategies, offering insights for both policymakers and business practitioners.
