Outline of Final Research Achievements

The rise of Asian multinational enterprises from emerging economies on the global stage has enriched major theoretical perspectives in international business. However, these theories have not sufficiently addressed increasing demands for sustainability from host countries and global societies. The sustainability of foreign direct investments has become even more demanding in the present more disintegrated, nationalism, and socially-oriented global environment. This research addresses three major sustainability-related scientific questions in terms of: 1) foreign direct investment and its legitimacy, 2) responsible business conducts, governance and monitoring, and 3) stakeholder management and social impact investment. Adopting a multi-level stakeholder approach, this research aims not only to create interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives, but also to better solve problems of practitioners, policy makers, and societies in the most recent trend of global environment.
