Abstract
We investigate the association between business strategy and firm-level tournament incentives in China and find that
business strategy is associated with tournament incentives positively. We further find that this positive relationship
manifests itself in local, but not central, state-owned enterprises (SOEs). In addition, we also offer some evidence
that foreign institutional investors play a moderating role on the positive association between business strategy and
tournament incentives. Our study fills a gap in the existing tournament literature by incorporating business strategy as
an important determinant of tournament incentives in China.
