Why and How Companies from Emerging Markets Internationalize : Three Essays on EMNE internationalizationOpsahl, Hanna Maria Dohlen 03 April 2018 (has links)
Cette recherche doctorale étudie un phénomène important dans les champs du management international et de la stratégie ; l’internationalisation des multinationales des pays émergents (EMNEs). Depuis quelques années, l’internationalisation des EMNEs reçoit une attention croissante de la part des chercheurs, des décideurs politiques et des managers. Ceci est expliqué par l’émergence rapide des EMNEs en tant qu’acteurs mondiaux. D’un point de vue théorique, les EMNEs questionnent les théories d’internationalisation qui ont traditionnellement été utilisées pour expliquer l’internationalisation des entreprises. D’un point de vue pratique, ces entreprises ont réussi à s’internationaliser, à monter en gamme et à concurrencer les entreprises des pays développés au niveau international internationaux dans une période très courte.Afin d’adresser des sujets et questions important dans l’internationalisation des EMNEs, cette recherche se compose de trois articles de recherche. Tout d’abord, l’article 1 est une étude bibliographique avec une revue de littérature structurée qui étudie l’évolution de la recherche sur les EMNEs pendant les deux dernières décennies. Ensuite, l’article 2 étudie l’impact des institutions, ou plus précisément la distance institutionnelle et les caractéristiques des pays hôtes sur le choix de mode d’entrée des EMNEs à l’international. Enfin, l’article 3 étudie l’impact de l’innovation sur leurs stratégies d’internationalisation. Au niveau empirique, cette recherche est basée sur des données des entreprises indiennes pendant une période de dix ans. Les données proviennent de plusieurs sources ; SDC Platinum, inFinancials et les rapports annuels des entreprises. / This doctoral dissertation studies a growing phenomenon in the IB- and Strategy literature; the internationalization of multinationals from emerging markets (EMNEs). The internationalization of EMNEs has received increased attention from both practitioners, policy makers and scholars over the last years, thanks to their rapid emergence as international players. From a theoretical point of view, EMNEs question theories that traditionally have been used to explain firm internationalization. From a practical point of view, these firms manage to internationalize, up-grade and compete with Western incumbents in short time. To address current issues and questions on EMNE internationalization, this dissertation is built up of three research essays. First, essay 1 is a bibliometric study and a structured literature review that studies the evolution of EMNE research in the IB- and strategy literature over the last two decades. Second, essay 2 addresses the importance of institutions, or institutional distance and host country characteristics more specifically, and the impact they have on the chosen entry mode of EMNEs into foreign markets. Third, essay 3 looks at how innovation impacts whether EMNEs choose to internationalize through international joint ventures or acquisitions. The empirical research essays in this dissertation are based upon a data set of Indian firms over a ten-year period with data from several sources, i.e. SDC Platinum Data Base, inFinancials, and the firms’ annual reports.

Being credited while being censured: Multinationality and sustainability of EMNEsPark, Sang-Bum 18 November 2020 (has links)
No / Based on the liability of origin and the attention-based view of firms, we examine how the international business of emerging economy multinationals (EMNEs) affects their corporate sustainability (CS). We develop a contrasting perspective with respect to the dual impacts of international diversification on CS strengths (“being credited” for sustainability), and CS concerns (“being censured” for sustainability). On the one hand, we contend that international diversification improves CS strengths because the firm managers of EMNEs that rely on foreign sales are highly motivated to adopt CS as a global business norm for overcoming the liability of origin and the legitimacy challenge in foreign markets. On the other hand, we argue that international diversification also increases CS concerns since the firm managers in foreign subsidiaries of EMNEs may be less motivated to internalize CS. The results from a 2SLS instrumental variable approach support our hypotheses. Our results reaffirm that “it is misleading to simply say that international diversification is either good or bad” for corporate social responsibility and sustainability (Strike, Gao, & Bansal, 2006: 859). We contribute to the literature on CS antecedents by empirically showing that firm internationalization is a driver of CS in emerging economies. Our findings present implications for future research on CS and international business.

Female Board Representation and Coupled Open Innovation: Evidence from Emerging Market Multinational EnterprisesAdams, Kweku, Attah-Boakye, R., Yu, H., Johansson, J., Njoya, E. 16 March 2023 (has links)
Yes / Little research has been done on female board representation in emerging market multinational enterprises (EMNEs). Our paper considers the role of female board representation and its impact on open innovation (OI) in the unique context of emerging markets. We draw on upper echelons and institutional theories to understand how female board representation and cross-country institutional contexts influence coupled OI. Combining a 10-year (2009-2019) dataset with a rich in-depth content analysis of 183 (EMNEs) engaged in OI, our results reveal a significant positive association between female board representation and a firm’s commitment to coupled OI initiatives. We also find that country-level institutional factors affect and positively moderate the relationship between female board representation and coupled OI. In emerging market environments where managerial perception and cultural beliefs sometimes hinder the promotion of females into top positions, our work has implications for EMNEs regarding how they harness diversity. We contribute to the OI literature by showing that female board representation enhances corporate OI investment within EMNEs.

Capacidades de inovação nas multinacionais de países emergentes: as condições do país de origem as influenciam? / Innovative capabilities of energing countries multinationals: do the country of orign conditions influence them?Fisch, Flávio 15 December 2017 (has links)
A Teoria de Negócios Internacionais sugere que ao aumentar o seu grau de internacionalização, as Empresas Multinacionais dos Países Emergentes dependerão cada vez menos dos efeitos dos seus países de origem, escapando assim das mazelas e deficiências desses países e igualando-se às Empresas Multinacionais dos Países Desenvolvidos. Essa argumentação de escape do país de origem, ou argumentação de escape, enfrenta, no entanto, dois desafios. O primeiro refere-se à geração das vantagens competitivas das multinacionais. As firmas originárias dos países desenvolvidos utilizam-se principalmente de capacidades tecnológicas e marketing para construir suas vantagens com base em seus produtos e marcas diferenciados, enquanto as multinacionais dos países emergentes o fazem a partir do aproveitamento de condições específicas do seu país de origem, utilizando-se de capacidades de inovação em processos e operações e em funções administrativas. O segundo desafio refere-se a evidências empíricas de que efeitos de país de origem se fazem sentir mesmo nas empresas multinacionais maduras de países desenvolvidos. A presente pesquisa busca ampliar o conhecimento sobre as capacidades de inovação das empresas multinacionais de países emergentes através do estudo dos limites do argumento do escape. Uma análise longitudinal das capacidades de inovação das empresas multinacionais brasileiras é utilizada para este fim. Estuda-se um período de cinco anos em que o ambiente de negócios do Brasil mudou de estável e favorável a turbulento e desafiador. A análise utiliza dois \"surveys\" aplicados em 2010 e 2015, além de informação complementar de fontes primárias e secundárias. Os resultados sugerem que as capacidades de inovação dessas empresas multinacionais ainda podem sofrer influência do ambiente institucional político e econômico do seu país de origem, mesmo com incremento do seu grau de internacionalização. Observam-se ainda diferentes consequências conforme a estratégia de internacionalização utilizada pelas firmas. As implicações dos achados são discutidas. / The international Business theory suggests that as they increase their degree of internationalization, Multinationals from Emerging Markets reduce their dependency on their Country of Origin Effects, escaping from these countries\' instabilities and deficiencies, therefore leveling with Multinationals from developed countries. The escape from the country of origin, or escape argument, faces two challenges. The first is that firms from developed countries base their advantages on technology and marketing capabilities to build strong products and brands, whereas firms from emerging countries do so mainly by exploiting their country of origin effects using innovative capabilities related to process and operations and to administrative functions. The second challenge relates to empirical evidence of the persistence of country of origin effects on mature multinational firms from developed countries. This research attempts to improve the knowledge on the innovation capability of Emerging Markets Multinational Enterprises through studying the limits of the escape argument. A longitudinal analysis of the innovative capabilities of Brazilian Multinational firms is used for that purpose. The five-year period studied involves a shift in Brazil\'s conditions from a stable and positive institutional environment to one of turbulence and instability. The research uses data from two surveys executed in 2010 and 2015, as well as other primary and secondary sources. The results suggest that the innovative capabilities from Emerging Market Multinationals can still suffer influences from changes in their home country political and economic institutional environment, even with an increase in their degree of internationalization. The outcomes vary according to the internationalization strategy used by the firms. Implications of these findings are discussed.

L'internationalisation des multinationales issues de pays emergents : comportements des firmes et determinants du developpement international dans un contexte de croissance par acquisition / The internationalization of emerging multinationals : firms' behaviours and determinants of the international development in a context of growth by acquisitionVieu, Marion 05 December 2014 (has links)
L'objectif de la recherche est de questionner le comportement des firmes multinationales issues de pays émergent (FMNE) lors de leur première acquisition majoritaire à l'international. En effet, devenue un phénomène d'ampleur mondial, l'internationalisation de ces firmes du Sud représente une nouveauté, une menace, mais également une opportunité dans le paysage économique mondial. Notre étude teste empiriquement les théories classiques du management international pensées pour les firmes du Nord (FMN) selon des méthodes quantitatives appliquées à un échantillon unique de 504 FMNE issues de la base de données SDC Platinum. Les résultats montrent qu'il existe trois catégories de FMNE influencées par les attributs du pays cibles, leur expérience d'acquisition internationale et leur réseau d'affaires étendu. En revanche, ces mêmes entreprises ne sont influencées ni par les attributs de leur pays domestique ni par leur expérience d'acquisition domestique ni par leur réseau d'affaires proche. Ces résultats éclairent ainsi les connaissances du champ des FMNE en confirmant certaines études dans la littérature tout en en contredisant d'autres. Ce travail de recherche précise donc un ensemble de connaissances scientifiques relatives au phénomène des FMNE et cristallise les réponses aux questionnements du champ à travers l'étude empirique des acquisitions majoritaires à l'international. / The research aims to investigate the emerging multinationals' (EMNE) behaviour through their first international acquisition. Indeed, because of the scope and scale of this international phenomenon, the internationalization of these firms portrayed a novelty, a threat, and an opportunity in the worldwide landscape as well. Our study tests empirically the international management theories basically thought for firms from industrialized economies (MNE) according to quantitative methodologies applied on a unique sample of 504 EMNE from SDC platinum database. The results find three EMNE groups influenced by target-country characteristics, international acquisition experience and extensive network. However, these same firms are not influenced by domestic-country characteristics, their domestic acquisition experience and their close network. These results highlight the field both in corroborate some studies and refute others. This research finally clarifies a set of scientific knowledge related to the EMNE phenomenon through an empirical study of the international acquisitions.
