| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In response to the rise of emerging Asian multinational enterprises on the global stage, this research project aims to elucidate the difference between the globalization of these latecomers and enterprises from developed economies in terms of drivers, paths, and performance. Based on the case studies, as well as quantitative data and statistical analysis, although traditional perspectives, such as the internalization theory, the eclectic paradigm, and the internationalization process model provide a powerful explanation on multinational enterprises from emerging Asia, they need some refinements and extensions in at least four areas, including country-of-origin effects, ownership advantages, learning processes, as well as global and industry context for internationalization. This research project also recommends strategies and policies that multinational enterprises and their government should implement to strengthen their competitiveness in the home market and on the global stage.
