AN ANALYSIS OF THE SURVIVAL ABILITY
OF STATE-OWNED FOREIGN
TRADE ENTERPRISES
ABSTRACT
With the continuous developing of the foreign trade system reformation in China and the devolution of import and export management right for enterprises, various types of manufacturing enterprises、private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises have been constantly emerging. The market competition is increasingly intensifying, many state-owned foreign trade enterprises went bankrupt, but some enterprises survived in the fierce market competition, in fact they have grew stronger than ever before. This paper treats state-owned foreign trade enterprises as Intermediaries and uses empirical analysis to study the factors that decide which state-owned foreign trade enterprise die and which one survive. This paper is divided into four chapters, first part is introduction and literature review. In chapter 3, we will introduce the environment and history also current trade situation of state-owned foreign trade enterprises. By choosing some typical state-owned foreign trade enterprises, we will conclude some key factors, and explain how these factors act by using some relative theories like Intermediaries. Chapter 4, we will choose an example to exam whether these factors mentioned above make this enterprise survive in the serious competition.
Through theoretical and empirical analysis we find several conclusions as follows:(1)enterprise must have a certain monopoly power(or monopoly right entrusted by the government), and its products must have peculiarity. (2)It must be a large-scale enterprise with abundant funds and strong risk resistance capacity. (3)Its developmental pattern is integration, and the development strategy is pluralism. (4) The operation and management of enterprise is more perfect, and more efficient.
