Chinese MNCs’ subsidiary management

Beskrivning

State-Owned Multinational Corporations (SMNCs), especially those from emerging markets, have become important outward investors with implications for both home and host economies. However, research is still limited and international business theories about MNCs have not considered the state-ownership aspect in their conceptualization. In this project, we intend first to study the influence of political embeddedness (PE) of SMNCs on their international strategy and market-entry decision-making, second to explore the consequence of PE on the local strategy and evolution of subsidiaries in SMNCs, and third to investigate the potential effects of SMNCs’ (politically influenced) activities on their competition in the host markets.
