Abstract: AbstractThe question of how latecomer firms in emerging markets may compete against incumbent multinationals is significant to both types of firms as well as governments of host countries. Based on previous studies on this topic, this chapter proposes a generic process model for analyzing competition dynamics between latecomers and multinationals. Through examining the competition between local and foreign firms in China's handset manufacturing industry, this chapter highlights the series of contingencies that help determine the likelihood that latecomer firms will emerge as initial and then sustained competitors vis-à-vis incumbent multinationals.
