"Why have relatively poor and underdeveloped countries been able to spawn so many global firms in the last two decades? Are emerging market multinationals (EMNCs) really different from
successful multinationals from developed economies? This book tacklesthese and other fundamental theoretical questions about EMNCs. A distinguished group of researchers assesses the unique
strategies and behavior of successful EMNCs, from the Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei to the Indian conglomerate Tata, to the South African beverages firm SABMiller. They address a range
of topics, such as the drivers of internationalization by EMNCs; their distinctive process capabilities; how they catch up with established rivals on technology; how state ownership or
business-group affiliation affects their behavior; and why they sometimes relocate their headquarters to advanced economies. This book will appeal to scholars and graduate students in global
strategy and international business, as well as consultants of multinational companies, looking for state-of-the-art analysis of EMNCs"--
