Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clarify how ownership structure, internationalisation path, product diversification and geographic scope affect emerging market Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) performance in a sample of Asia Pacific Emerging market MNEs. The result shows that: 1) the relationship between internationalisation and firm performance is a non-linear relationship; 2) Moderate product diversification and geographic scope can increase emerging market MNEs' capacities. By contrast, firm performance will turn out to be negative when emerging market MNEs heavily expand their product offerings and geographic markets; 3) The relationship between ownership structure and firm performance is a non-linear relationship (S Shape).
