The research activities in economics have long been centered on the economic activities of three economic entities—government, enterprises, and households—in the market. These three entities are independent, but it was only after the emergence of modern enterprises that their mutually exclusive yet interdependent relationships became increasingly evident. From the evolution of these relationships, under market mechanisms, the relationship between enterprises and the government, as well as the relationship between enterprises and households, has shifted from direct to indirect, allowing enterprises to play an increasingly significant role in the entire modern economy.
Recent studies have widely recognized that corporate competitiveness is synonymous with national competitiveness. Thus, elucidating a country's economic system through the study of enterprises has become an important research topic.
