Exploring the Configuration of Emerging Country Multinationals — A Value Chain Perspective

Chapter 14 in The Emergence of Southern Multinationals, 2011, pp 261-280 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the investment patterns of emerging country multinationals (EC-MNCs) to understand whether these differ from the traditional approaches used by firms from developed countries. Specifically we analysed investments in operations in production activities, but equally of interest were those investments that would constitute upstream (R&D, design, supply-side) or downstream investments (distribution/route to market, after-sales services). This ‘value chain perspective’ was of interest as it may provide particular insights into different internationalization patterns of EC-MNCs.
