“…The acronym BRICS refers to what O'Neil first described in Building Better Global Economic BRICS [125] as emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and later on South Africa). This classifications ranks at the third position in Table 5, although the majority of publications belong to China (11) [46,67,70,71,77,82,93,111,122,124,126], followed by India (5) [41,76,79,100,104], Russia [47] and South Africa [89]. In the case of China, it increases its numbers if we take into account publications that include Asia ([94,98,103]) and home countries ( [46,62,109,110]).…”

Joint Ventures and Sustainable Development. A Bibliometric Analysis

One of the most common business strategies in companies’ growth and internationalization is the Joint Venture (JV) strategy. This type of entry mode in the global market has contributed to building a more sustainable international market. This type of collaborative business normally happens between firms located either in the same country or located in different countries with different levels of development. This paper presents a thorough cross-bibliometric analysis of studies examining the relation between joint ventures and sustainability published in academic journals during the period from 1997 to 2020 and available in the Scopus Collection. This mapping of the field on the one hand graphically illustrates the publications’ evolution over time, and on the other hand, the use of bibliometric methodology shows a picture that clusters the academic research of the relationships among these two topics according to the following criteria: JV type, sustainability criteria, host country groups and activity sectors. In addition, the public or private JVs’ nature shows a relation to the type of sustainability, and mainly development and management sustainability. The paper reveals the knowledge gap regarding the connection of these two fields, JV and sustainability, and provides a robust roadmap for further investigation in this field.

“…As a result the auto industry in China experienced substantial progress in both market size and technology. A number of manufacturers began exporting, but the industry has suffered from a lack of product innovations in recent years (Chin, 2010;Gregory et al, 2005;Hiraoka, 2001). Both academic and industry voices have called for rethinking the industry's strategy (Chin, 2010;Hiraoka, 2001).…”

Both academic and industry voices have called for rethinking the industry's strategy (Chin, 2010;Hiraoka, 2001). The auto industry was highly protected by China's 1994 Automotive Industrial Policy and by WTO rules that protect infant industries in emerging economies (Chin, 2010).…”

Export intensity, domestic competition, and product innovation in an emerging economy

Recent studies have found contradictory evidence about the relationship between a firm's exporting intensity and its success in product innovation. Data on 6,197 firms in the Chinese auto industry were analysed to demonstrate that the relationship is actually inverted-U shaped, at least in that specific context. Exporters in emerging economies can be technology and market leaders in their domestic markets, but internationally they tend to be technology and market laggards. When the export intensity is low firms that also export can benefit from knowledge gained in overseas markets, improving their product innovation. When the export intensity is very high, focused exporters tend to focus on the overseas markets where they may not have competitive advantages in product innovation, developing fewer product innovations. Furthermore, the paper found that the inverted-U shaped relationship between export intensity and product innovation is strengthened by more intense competition in the home market.

“…In this context, technological learning involves the absorption of external knowledge (from abroad or from adjacent multinationals), upgrading of technological capabilities, and acquisition of other competitively important resources and capabilities. Prior research has investigated how latecomers acquire needed technologies from advanced countries (e.g., Pack, 2000;Wu and Hsu, 2001;Hiraoka, 2001), manage the learning process and move up the value chain (Kuman and Bhat, 2000), and narrow technology gaps with firms in developed countries (Jegathesan, Gunasekaran and Muthaly, 1997;Bowonder, 1998;Matthews, 2001).…”

This paper examines the linkage among the industry and policy environment, firm-level resources and capabilities, and the success of learning strategies by China's handset makers. Within a particular context-characterized by a large domestic market, disintegrated technological regime, established foreign firms, and supportive government policies-these firms were able to exploit their own specific advantages and also acquire new resources and capabilities, quite rapidly emerging as serious competitors in the domestic market vis-à-vis global incumbents. These latecomers have tightly linked their product innovation efforts to the local market characteristics and created competitive advantages through their distribution channels. Our findings have strategic implications for new entrants in other industry and national contexts, and also for research on the critical conditions and processes supporting successful technological learning.
