The more environment uncertainty of economics, regulations and suppliers, firms more likely adopt high control level entry mode. 2.

Firms with stronger manufacture core competence, the more likely adopt low control level entry mode. 4. Firms with greater size, stronger internationalized motive and stronger marketing core competence, the more likely adopt leadership market competitive strategy. 5. The adoption of entry mode has no impact on foreign performance. 6. Firms that adapt leadership strategy are better on foreign performance. 7.
