Journal of Business-to-Business Marketing

As one of the fastest-growing marketplaces, China’s electronic market has recently attracted many startups from across China and abroad. These firms, which utilize Internet platforms for revenue generation, are often referred to as online enterprises (OEs). OEs are facing strategic decision concerns that when to enter the market, which entry mode should adopt, what factors affect their entry decision, and how OEs’ market entry strategy responds to market dynamics. Moreover, environmental dynamics and organizational factors inevitably influence EBVs’ market entry decision-making. In the post-epidemic period, OEs should account for both internal and external factors that are directly related to their market performances. In China’s electronic market, how to enter the ongoing development market and achieve sustainable development has become a central concern for OEs.
