Foreign direct investment (FDI) has soared and multinational
enterprises (MNEs) have grown in numbers and complexity as
globalization has intensified. This volume takes stock of important
new issues relating to FDI and MNEs in a changing world.
Contributors are distinguished international business scholars who
have written specifically for the book in their areas of expertise.
The volume focuses on four key areas: How do managers and firms
make internationalization decisions? How does the national origin
of MNEs affect their competitive advantages and strategies,
particularly those spawned by emerging markets? How is the scope of
MNEs changing, in terms of what gets done inside and outside the
firm, product vs. geographic diversification, manufacturing vs.
services, and the pace of internationalization? And finally, what
can or should governments do to harness MNEs for the greater good?
In each area, authors propose interesting and important questions
for further research. The volume is a Festschrift to Yair Aharoni
of Tel Aviv University, whose pioneering research, including the
seminal book, The Foreign Investment Decision Process (1966),
helped launch the systematic study of FDI and MNEs almost fifty
years ago.
Why have relatively poor and underdeveloped countries been able to
spawn so many global firms in the last two decades? Are emerging
market multinationals (EMNCs) really different from successful
multinationals from developed economies? This book tackles these
and other fundamental theoretical questions about EMNCs. A
distinguished group of researchers assesses the unique strategies
and behavior of successful EMNCs, from the Chinese
telecommunications firm Huawei to the Indian conglomerate Tata, to
the South African beverages firm SABMiller. They address a range of
topics, such as the drivers of internationalization by EMNCs; their
distinctive process capabilities; how they catch up with
established rivals on technology; how state ownership or
business-group affiliation affects their behavior; and why they
sometimes relocate their headquarters to advanced economies. This
book will appeal to scholars and graduate students in global
strategy and international business, as well as consultants of
multinational companies, looking for state-of-the-art analysis of
EMNCs.
Multinationals from Brazil, Russia, India and China, known as the
BRIC countries, are a new and powerful force in global competition
and are challenging the incumbency of much older global companies
from the developed world. Emerging market multinational enterprises
(EMNEs) now account for a quarter of foreign investment in the
world, are a prolific source of innovation and make almost one in
three cross-border acquisitions globally. Despite this, traditional
theories of international business do not provide a satisfactory
explanation of their behaviour or performance. The authors of this
book shine new light on the rise of the EMNEs and how they have
built a competitive advantage through innovation, novel
configurations of their international value chains and the
acquisition of companies overseas. Any manager, policy maker or
researcher who wishes to understand the emergence of this new breed
of multinational will find this book an invaluable resource.

Why have so many firms in emerging economies internationalized
quite aggressively in the last decade? What competitive advantages
do these firms enjoy and what are the origins of those advantages?
Through what strategies have they built their global presence? How
is their internationalization affecting Western rivals? And,
finally, what does all this mean for mainstream international
business theory? In Emerging Multinationals in Emerging Markets, a
distinguished group of international business scholars tackle these
questions based on a shared research design. The heart of the book
contains detailed studies of emerging-market multinationals (EMNEs)
from the BRIC economies, plus Israel, Mexico, South Africa, and
Thailand. The studies show that EMNEs come in many shapes and
sizes, depending on the home-country context. Furthermore, EMNEs
leverage distinctive competitive advantages and pursue distinctive
internationalization paths. This timely analysis of EMNEs promises
to enrich mainstream models of how firms internationalize in
today's global economy.
