Motivation of Foreign Strategic Investment in China's Banking sector: The Eclectic Paradigm

This paper investigates the motivation of foreign banks undertaking strategic investment into Chinese banks and motivation of Chinese banks introducing strategic investment using the eclectic paradigm. Qualitative analysis is used to analyze the strategic investment in China’s banking sector and substantial anecdotal and archive data is hand-collected and analyzed. Foreign banks are primarily motivated by resource seeking and market seeking. Specifically, the evidence suggests that foreign banks are attracted by the higher GDP growth of China and large banking market, local resources of Chinese banks, such as distribution networks and local customer base. Chinese banks are primarily motivated by resource seeking, specifically, getting access to foreign banks’ intangible resources, such as advanced management skills, professional techniques on organizational restructuring, IT system design, product development, and so on.
