Drawing on the perspectives of Dunning´s eclectic paradigm, this paper examines the impact of ownership, internalization and location factors on foreign entry mode choice of Chinese firms. Based on a sample of 413 China´s listed companies with overseas operations, we find the evidence that the enterprises prefer a high entry mode when they possess more international experience or higher innovative ability. Furthermore, our results also indicate that tacit knowledge encourages the firms to select wholly-owned subsidiary as an entry mode, but it does not induce them to favor joint venture over export. A low entry mode is more likely to be chosen in the presence of a higher country risk. High-tech firms tend to select a high entry mode.
