内容介绍：

    Dramatic economic growth in emerging economies creates substantial opportunities for entrepreneurial activities, but entrepreneurship in such settings has received limited research attention. Drawing on institutional theory and entrepreneurship literature, this study examines the impact of entrepreneurial firms’ innovative and imitative strategies on firm performance, as well as the ways in which these effects are contingent on the institutional environment. Combining three secondary data sets, the authors find differential effects of innovative and imitative strategies, as well as significant moderating effects of the institutional forces, including legal effectiveness, regulatory burdens, and product market development. These empirical findings offer important implications for academic scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.
