近日,由全球化智库(CCG)主任王辉耀博士和CCG秘书长苗绿博士主编的全英文著作 The Globalization of Chinese Enterprises: Trends and Characteristics(《中国企业全球化:趋势与特征》)在国际著名学术性出版社——Springer(斯普林格)出版。本书调查分析了近3000个数据样本,采用定量和定性研究相结合的方法,分析了中国企业在海外经营时所面临的挑战,对中国企业全球化的特征和模式提出了独特的见解,并通过分析为已经和计划“走出去”的企业提供有益参考。

 

中国企业全球化是21世纪经济全球化最显著的特征之一。尽管经历了2008年的金融危机,全球对外投资疲软,但在“走出去”倡议下,中国对外投资一路向好,同时在投资方式、目的地、产业等方面也在逐步实现多元化。在部分国家反全球化情绪日益高涨,中国企业全球化面对新的挑战之际,本书对中国企业全球化的现状与未来提出了独特的见解,主要研究了三方面内容,包括中国企业全球化的现状原因分析和相应的解决方案,以及对企业、政府机构和其他机构的相关建议。

本书第一章主要研究了当前世界对外投资的趋势与特点。书中指出,2017年全球经济和全球货物贸易均以2011年以来最快速度增长,增长速度分别达到3%和4.7%。然而,全球外国直接投资则在2016、2017年连续两年下降。例如,2017年,跨境并购和公布的绿地投资分别下降了22%和14%。此外,发达国家的投资水平急剧变化,而发展中国家的投资水平保持稳定和强劲。总的来说,国际投资政策正变得更加自由化并具支持性,但某些国家采取的保护主义措施仍令人担忧。

本书第二章主要分析了中国对外直接投资的现状与特点。书中指出,尽管贸易壁垒不断上加大,反全球化趋势上升,中国经济仍在持续增长和发展。据国家统计局统计,2017年,中国GDP总量首次突破80万亿元大关,达到82.7万亿元,同比增长6.9%,实现经济年度增速自2011年下行以来的首次回升。目前,尽管中国企业对外直接投资放缓,但投资领域和投资模式趋于稳定,投资多元化、领域拓宽,尤其在“一带一路”沿线投资中取得了丰硕成果。

本书第三章聚焦中国企业全球化面临的问题及其对策。书中指出,随着中国企业“走出去”的步伐不断加快,中国企业在全球化进程中遇到了各种各样的问题,包括管理风险的能力不足,例如法律和政治风险;参与制定国际标准的程度低;企业品牌国际化战略的障碍;以及企业人才国际化的有限性。为了帮助解决这些问题,本章分析了各个领域的现状和挑战,提出了原因分析,并据此提出了合理的解决方案。此外,本书还统计收录了2016至2017年间879家中国企业对外投资情况。
