本研究以新興市場中，企業如何將透過網絡關係取得的資源，用於幫助企業海外成長為主題。研究台灣企業如何透過董事會連結取得資源，以幫助企業克服缺乏折衷理論中專屬性優勢，無法前往海外市場的限制。本研究從網絡關係理論與資源基礎理論出發，主張企業資源可以區分為資產性資源及知識性資源兩類。
透過連接資源的不同，而將董事會連結區分為資產性資源連結與知識性資源連結。並以此分類研究不同類型資源，對海外成長造成的影響。同時，研究董事會在企業中角色的定位，如何影響董事會運用其透過連結取得的資源。本研究之樣本為，中華徵信所所定義之中華民國地區前兩百大集團企業，時間為2009年至2010年。
本研究結果發現，董事會知識性資源連結越多，其所攜來資源對企業海外成長越有利，資產性資源則沒有明顯的效果。董事會角色方面，合作傾向高的董事會，能幫助企業在追求海外成長時，更有效的運用董事會連結所帶來的資源。也就是，董事會連結所帶來的資源，確實能幫助企業完成海外成長的策略目標。

This study intends to combine the nature of resources to investigate the relationship between board network relationships of conglomerate and the growth of business groups. For the difference between resources, we divided the resources gained through connection of network relationships into two types that is property-bases resource and knowledge-based resource. Meanwhile, we’ll investigate how the role of board in a company affect the way it uses its resource. We used data from Taiwanese Top 200 conglomerates as our sample and focus on the network relationships created by the board members to test our theory. The result shows that the intensity of knowledge-based resource connections will enhance the growth of focal firms. Meanwhile, the cooperative role of board will enhance the relationship between the resources brought by board and the growth of focal firm.
