Empirical Research Of Cooperation Performance Between Enterprises And Its Influencing Factors

The rapid development of science and economy has accelerated the pace of the globalization process, which makes the traditional exclusive competition aiming to eliminate rivals unavailable to success. Only the cooperation based on cooperation is conducive to the long-term survival and development of the enterprise. It has become an inevitable choice to seek win-win situation by establishing cooperative relations between enterprises. Under this background, various forms of cooperation between enterprises such as strategic alliance and virtual organization are growing, which makes cooperation between enterprises more closely than ever before. However, in reality cooperation between enterprises does not achieve the long term as expected. This paper argues that one of the important reasons is that companies don’t pay enough attention to the factors influencing cooperation performance between enterprises. If it is expected that the cooperative partnership between enterprises obtains long-term sustainable development, its core lies in that the interest of cooperative enterprise after building the partnership should not only be higher than that before the partnership is established, but also have to meet the desired purpose of all parties. Only by maximizing the interests of all parties can the partnership has the possibility and necessity of maintenance. It means that the ultimate goal of enterprise partnership is to obtain good performance. Then what kind of factors will influence the cooperation performance? How do they interact with each other? How does the mechanism and specific path influence cooperation performance? Currently, there isn’t systematic empirical research in the theoretical area.This thesis explores the influence factors of cooperation performance between enterprises in China from the perspective of transaction cost economics, resource base theory, social exchange theory and principal-agent theory. Based on the analysis of related theoretical research, it can be concluded that several factors influence the cooperation performance between enterprises in the enterprise cooperation practice, which are trust between enterprises, resource dependence, information sharing, cultural compatibility and environmental uncertainty. On this basis, relevant hypothesis is put forward and scale for research of variable is developed, according to which questionnaire is designed and structural equation model is eventually built up. AMOS and SPSS software is employed to analyze and evaluate data collected from questionnaires. Research results show that the factors including trust between enterprises, resource dependence, information sharing, cultural compatibility and environmental uncertainty can affect the performance of cooperation, and then relevant influence path and direction is drawn, which has a positive impact for the sustainable development of cooperative partnership between enterprises, and can also enhance the overall performance and create competitive advantage for enterprises.
