  • Description: Implementing corporate entrepreneurial (CE) strategies is a panacea for established firms achieving high performance and gaining sustained competitive advantage in a fast-changing business environment. This paper investigates the effects of CE strategy on firm performance at both overall and individual sub-category (investing in R&D, brand equity, organisational capital and human capital) levels with Chinese listed companies over the period 2010 to 2018. The empirical results indicate two points. (1) Adopting CE strategies has a positive effect on firm performance. When investigating the influence of the specific sub-category, only investing in R&D and human capital influences firm performance significantly, while the effects of investing in brand equity and organisational capital are insignificant. (2) The effects of CE strategy and its sub-categories on firm performance exist heterogeneity across firm ownership and industry context. Specifically, the effect of CE strategy in state-owned (manufacturing) firms is larger than that in privately-owned (service) firms; state-owned firms’ performance is driven by R&D investment, while privately-owned firms’ performance is driven by R&D and human capital investment; manufacturing firms’ performance is driven by R&D and brand equity investment, while service firms’ performance is driven by human capital investment.
