摘　　要：跨国公司理论一直将企业对外直接投资与其在母国国内的扩张割裂研究,且多是静态研究,彭罗斯对跨国公司的研究可弥补这一缺陷。作为企业成长理论的提出者和跨国公司研究的先驱,彭罗斯认为对外投资是企业成长的自然表现,企业的跨国经营和在国内的扩张并无本质差异,且是动态演进发展的。从企业成长理论出发,在母国国内设立多个分支机构、越出母国到东道国投资、在东道国国内设立多个分支机构可以统一于“三位一体”的、动态演进的分析框架中,中国和美国多家典型企业在国内外的扩张可诠释这一框架。引入空间费用和区位选择微观机制,企业成长理论可以一般性地、动态地解释公司在母国、跨国和在东道国的投资行为。Theories of transnational corporations have traditionally separated firms'foreign direct investment from their domestic expansion,often presenting a static view.Penrose’s research addresses this deficiency.As the proponent of the theory of firm growth and a pioneer in the study of transnational corporations,Penrose argued that foreign investment is a natural aspect of firm growth,with no essential difference between transnational operations and domestic expansion,both being dynamic processes.Drawing on the theory of corporate growth,the expansion of several typical Chinese and American companies domestically and internationally can be interpreted within a unified"three-in-one"dynamic evolutionary framework.The domestic and international expansions of several typical Chinese and American companies exemplify this framework.By introducing the micro-mechanisms of spatial cost and location selection,Penrose’s theory can generally and dynamically explain firms'investment behaviors in their home country,across borders,and in host countries.
