“…We extend current research regarding impacts of host institutions on firm strategic choices (Chacar, Newburry, & Vissa, 2010;Peng et al, 2002) and on internationalization of emerging market multinationals (Ramasamy et al, 2012) by discussing that the host-country institutions may directly influence the delivery of product and services. Secondly, this study also complements research on FDI in Africa, which has been focusing repetitively in investments from China and India and hence assumes away differences regarding the origin of the firms (Adeleye et al, 2015;Chakrabarti & Ghosh, 2014).…”

Double Blind Review System Scientific Editor Ilan AvrichirHow do institutional voids influence emerging market multinationals (EMNEs) foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries? In this article we respond to this question based on a case study approach by examining Brazilian FDI in Angola as our analytical setting. We focus on the host country's institutions and its institutional voids as essential factors that attract the FDI of EMNES to developing countries. The research indicates that Brazilian companies fill in much of these voids within the market intermediaries, often creating a point of competitive advantage, and also creating advantages in relation to FDI from other economies that invest in Angola. We complement recent research on the influence of the host country's institutions on the behavior of FDI in developing countries, explaining how some EMNEs are able to use the institutional voids of developing countries as market opportunities. Our findings provide also implications for EMNEs managers from other emerging markets by providing a better understanding of how Brazilian multinationals expand their business in less developed countries, handle institutional voids and manage relationships with local and foreign institutions in the host country.

“…China's little attention given to Guinea-Bissau's rich possessions of natural resources adds vigor to the observed irrelevance of such endowments for Chinese FDI activities, challenging a very broad consensus in the literature. This leaves me to conclude that China's quest for natural resources might be significantly overstated by many sources and casts doubt on the natural-resource exploitation China is alleged to engage in (Chakrabarti & Ghosh, 2014).…”

This thesis aims to contribute to the literature concerned with putting the nature of South-South economic ties into perspective. Specifically, it empirically examines which characteristics of Sub-Saharan African nations are related to higher foreign direct investment inflows from China. A comprehensive literature review yields a range of factors that are hypothesized to play a role in this regard. For a case study of Guinea-Bissau results suggest that even though high endowments of natural resources are inherent to the country, Chinese money inflows in the form of foreign direct investments only occur sporadically. In the regional comparison my panel data regression analysis yields that the country factors with significant, positive association to Chinese direct-investment sums are more democratic regimes, bigger markets, a non-French and non-British colonial legacy, as well as a higher agricultural potential. Contrary to what the existing literature suggests, no evidence is found that countries with higher natural-resource endowments actually receive more foreign direct investments from China.
