Handbook of Emerging Market Multinational Corporations

Business and management scholars from the US, Israel, Europe, and Asia submit 11 chapters examining the rise of emerging market multinational corporations, why they internationalize, how they go abroad, what firm and country-specific advantages drive their expansion, how they exploit them when operating abroad, and the strategies they implement. They discuss theoretical aspects, including the different types of multinational enterprises, success factors drawn from home markets, and the conditions of the country of origin that lead to internationalization; empirical studies of pre-internationalization positions in global value chains, the influence of the institutional distance between the home and host country on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, how Indian enterprises have integrated globally through acquisitions and the role of the Indian government, and factors that affect their location choice; and case studies of corporations in China, Egypt, Russia, and South Africa.
