“…First, the topic of how multi-national firms might defend themselves against aggressive domestic firms is relatively new and unexplored (Jaffe et al 2005;Wu and Pangarkar 2006). the de facto strategies we feature herein may represent defensive measures in such settings.…”

Enforcing Intellectual Property Rights in Weak Appropriability Regimes

0Many emerging economies are characterised by weak appropriability systems and absent legal systems to punish imitators. This places foreign firms' intellectual property rights at risk, because existing appropriation methods, such as patents or secrecy, cannot function effectively. this concern especially applies to china, the empirical context of this article. Such adverse conditions force managers to devise new strategies to safeguard their firms' intellectual property rights. Yet no evidence describes whether strategies exist, which forms they take, how they have evolved or how they get implemented. 0 this article addresses this knowledge gap and explores strategies that managers have developed to achieve de facto protection, despite China's weak appropriability system. The analysis systematically explores 13 cases of foreign firms with wholly owned subsidiaries in china. 0The findings confirm that de facto strategies exist, describe how they work and detail how they were achieved. The findings suggest implications for both managers and academics.

“…In trying to achieve early advantages, such as the early creation of sustainable relationships with customers (e.g., Gao and Knight 2007), the foreign unit may be assisted by other corporate units that share market knowledge if there is resource relatedness among them. The benefits of early initiatives to build relation-based barriers to competition may therefore overshadow dynamic threats from late-moving firms with large volumes and low costs if the firm configures its resources dynamically (Hutzschenreuter and Groene 2009;Jaffe et al 2005).…”

Good managerial understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and market orientation (MO) in dynamic foreign markets improves the international competitiveness of the entire firm. Drawing on the dynamic capability view, this study contributes to the international strategy and entrepreneurship literature by extending our understanding of the actionable components of the EO/MO of firms' foreign units, that is, innovativeness and responsiveness. The study examines relationships between the actionable components and the performance of industrial firms' wholly owned subsidiaries and cooperative arrangements in foreign markets. The results indicate that innovativeness and responsiveness are directly and positively associated with the performance of the foreign unit. Higher institutional barriers make innovativeness less effective, while full ownership strengthens the positive relationship with responsiveness. Contributions to the literature are discussed. Abstrakt Das Managementverständnis der Mechanismen, die der Effektivität der unternehmerischen Orientierung (EO) und der Marktorientierung (MO) in dynamischen Auslandsmärkten zugrunde liegen, verbessert die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des gesamten Unternehmens. Diese Studie stützt sich auf die Dynamic Capabilities View und liefert einen Beitrag zur Literatur zu internationaler Strategie und Unternehmertum, indem sie das Verständnis der verwertbaren Komponenten von EO/MO der ausländischen Einheiten von Unternehmen, d.h. Innovationsfähigkeit und Reaktionsfähigkeit, erweitert. Die Studie untersucht die Beziehungen zur Leistung von hundertprozentigen Tochtergesellschaften und Kooperationen von Industrieunternehmen auf ausländischen Märkten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Innovation und Reaktionsfähigkeit direkt und positiv mit der Leistung der ausländischen Einheit

“…Whereas existing literature primarily incorporates the perspective of MNCs, recent studies have begun to focus on local firms that compete with MNCs in local markets (Chang and Xu 2008;Dawar and Frost 1999;Meyer 2004;Wu and Pangarkar 2006). For example, Jaffe, Nebenzahl, and Schorr (2005) analyze the strategic options of a domestic firm threatened by the entry of an MNC. The domestic firm could choose to attack the incoming MNC, cooperate with it, defend its home position, or exit the market.…”

This research explores the extent to which competitive actions of multinational corporations (MNCs) and local vendors of Internet technology products shape the diffusion of their respective products in emerging markets. Drawing on competitive technology diffusion, the Austrian perspective on firms' market processes, and resource advantage theory, the authors develop a set of hypotheses regarding the characteristics of the competitive actions of MNCs and local vendors. They validate the hypotheses with longitudinal field data from two pairs of competing Internet technology products in search engine and consumer-to-consumer electronic markets. The findings indicate that specific market-oriented actions of local vendors and MNCs influence the diffusion of technology products. In particular, global marketing managers should concentrate on a few key actions and take new actions that differ from those of local vendors in emerging markets. This study provides a wealth of knowledge in high-technology product diffusion and demonstrates how competition between local vendors and MNCs in emerging markets differs from typical within-industry competition. In addition, this study conveys important implications to the theory of international business.
