The Smirk of Emerging Market Firms: A Modification of the Dunning's Typology of Internationalization Motivations

Nurturing business ecosystems for growth in a foreign market: Incubating, identifying and integrating stakeholders

“…Current IB theories mainly use resource-dominant logic to address internationalization activities (Johanson and Vahlne, 2009;Moghaddam et al, 2014), indicating that companies are reluctant to penetrate the market without resource advantages and, therefore, proactively create resources. Dunning and his colleagues proposed an eclectic framework of ownership (Hymer, 1976), location (Vernon, 1966), and internalization (Buckley and Casson, 1976) with a more active nature that can be used to evaluate the impact of market, resources, knowledge, efficiency, global value and geopolitics on the success of internationalization strategy (Dunning, 1988(Dunning, , 2000(Dunning, , 2001Dunning and Lundan, 2008;Moghaddam et al, 2014).…”

These OLI elements (i.e., ownership advantage, location advantage, and internationalization advantage) of the eclectic paradigm have been used widely by managers to identify the nature of a given firm's advantage over rivals in a host market.…”

“…The fast-changing international business environment requires MNEs not only to address firm-level behavior, but also to manage global networks to meet the challenge of dynamic products (Dunning, 2001;Moghaddam et al, 2014). We summarize our contributions to the literature of international business and supply chain management in Table 3.…”

BRIC-Investitionen in Deutschland

“…Es bestehen Modifikationen dieser Klassifizierung, die das Grundmodell aufgreifen, aber für Unternehmen/Gesellschafter aus nicht industrialisierten Ländern anpassen. Moghaddam et al (2014) unterscheiden sechs Motive, von denen zwei aufgrund der makroökonomischen und geographischen Struktur Deutschlands nicht relevant sind (Zugang zu fossilen Rohstoffen und Zugang zu günstigen Arbeitskräften). Die vier theoretisch verfolgbaren Ziele für eine ausländische Direktinvestition aus den BRIC-Staaten in Deutschland sind:…”

EMNEs venturing into advanced economies: Findings from comparative cases of two Indian MNEs

“…Another striking similarity is the way in which both firms seem to have given a “world mandate” (Birkinshaw & Morrison, —while studying DMNE subsidiaries) to their overseas subsidiaries in developed regions. This makes the case for a view that while EMNEs may start with a mix of “unconventional” and some weak FSAs, they use their developed region based acquisitions and adopt the Dunning OLI paradigm for further internationalization (Moghaddam, Sethi, Weber, & Wu, ).…”
