Chinese Multinationals’ Entry, Exit and Re-Entry Patterns: Survey Evidence

Chapter 3 in Experiences of Emerging Economy Firms, 2015, pp 32-53 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hsu, Lien and Chen (2013) have stated that firms from emerging economies are becoming increasingly active in international business. On the other hand, Deng (2012, 2013) and Zhong, Peng and Liu (2013) claim that knowledge on internationalization of emerging economy multinational enterprises (MNEs) is insufficient, and according to Li (2007, 2010), especially smaller multinationals from emerging economies are still under-researched. Moreover, Matthyssens and Pauwels (2000: 700) concluded that “Because of increased competition ... it can be expected that not every foreign entry is successful”. Li (2007) proposed that MNEs experience several boom-and-bust cycles in their existence. According to Vissak (2010), nonlinear internationalizers may be found more frequently than linear internationalizers, that is, firms that never exit or re-enter foreign markets. Thus, Javalgi, Deligonul, Dixit and Cavusgil (2011), Turner (2012), Vissak and Francioni (2013), Welch and Welch (2009), and Zhang and Larimo (2012) stressed the importance of studying exits and re-entries as to date they have not received enough research attention.
