Full textAbstract:
Multinationals are subject to questioning about organizational legitimacy issues by foreign governments when expanding overseas. This issue has become more prevalent over the past two decades with the rapid development of emerging countries and the exponential expansion in outward foreign direct investments from the firms of these emerging countries. Many emerging-country multinationals, particularly Chinese ones, confront political challenges in overseas. Accordingly, the global marketing economy is increasingly politicized, however previous research on consumer behavior has not paid attention to this political element. Against this background, this thesis draws on signaling theory to investigate the effect of overseas political challenges suffered by Chinese multinationals on domestic consumer purchase willingness, through shaping brand awareness and brand image in the home country. This study adopts a quantitative approach and administers an online questionnaire-based survey to assess Chinese people's willingness to purchase products made by Huawei (a Chinese national brand). Through PLS-SEM analysis of the survey data consisting of 314 valid questionnaires, our results reveal that the overseas political challenges faced by Chinese multinationals does not directly influence domestic consumer purchase willingness. Instead, awareness of this international political pressure can exert a directly positive effect on brand awareness and brand image in the home country, which in turn triggers domestic consumer purchase willingness. Our study suggests that overseas political challenge delivers a positive signaling effect and is conducive to domestic consumer purchase willingness. By building a theoretical link between overseas political challenge and consumer purchase willingness, uncovering the bright side of the challenging overseas environment faced by many multinationals, this study advances research on consumer behavior and gains deeper insight into the effect of these political challenges as well as extending the application of signaling theory.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Africa’s rising international profile and geopolitical significance as well as the continent’s relatively ‘under-exploited markets’ have been pull factors for many emerging economies. Globally, the developing and emerging economies of the world for the first time captured more than half of all global FDI in 2011. Changes in the global investment regime are a clear indication of the changing dynamics in the global economy. Since India and China’s FDI liberalisation processes began to gather steam in the 1990s, they have been amongst the most aggressive of the emerging economy investors. This study appraises the role of the government in facilitating investment by Indian and Chinese firms abroad, specifically Sub-Saharan Africa. The study analyses the motivations for such outward foreign direct invest flows, the sectoral trends, and the entry mode differences of Indian and Chinese firms’ investments in Sub-Saharan African markets. Yet, there is a lack of studies that focus on both Indian and Chinese investments in Sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing from theoretical constructs from political economy, International business /economics and International Political Economy - a framework is provided to assess the influence of these investments. The methodology is interpretive and qualitative and draws largely on secondary material from international organisations, government agencies, academic literature and the media. The study finds that the role of New Delhi and Beijing in facilitating and financing outward investments is strategic and pragmatic. These policies greatly influence firms, and the locations and types of their investments. South-South cooperation provides India and China with a framework for long-term political and economic investments and development cooperation with African states. India and China’s engagements in Sub-Saharan Africa share similar and dissimilar forms and motivations for FDI. Markets and resources are primary motivations for these two countries’ firms to invest in the region. India and China’s growing commercial activities in Sub-Saharan Africa provide the region with opportunities for further international market integration and development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Afrika se ontluikende internasionale profiel en geopolitieke belang tesame met die vasteland se relatief ‘onderbenutte’ markte is ’n trekfaktor vir baie ontluikende ekonomieë. Terwyl vloeie uit buitelandse direkte investering (BDI) na Afrika, wat ’n hoogtepunt in 2008 bereik het, in 2010 steeds afgeneem het, was die ontwikkelende en ontluikende ekonomieë van die wêreld vir die eerste keer in besit van meer as die helfte van alle wêreldwye BDI in 2011. Veranderings in die internasionale beleggingsregime is ’n duidelike aanduiding van die veranderende dinamika in die wêreldekonomie. Sedert Indië en China se liberaliseringsprosesse met betrekking tot BDI in die 1990’s begin ontwikkel het, is hulle van die aggressiefste beleggers onder opkomende ekonomieë. Die gebrek aan streekstudies wat op Indiese en Chinese beleggings fokus, verg egter verdere aandag. Die doel van die studie is om die rol van die regering in die fasilitering van Indiese en Chinese maatskappye om in die buiteland te belê te ontleed. Die fokus val veral op Afrika suid van die Sahara, en op die motiverings vir hierdie BDI-vloeie, die sektortendense en wyse van toetreding van Indiese en Chinese maatskappye se beleggings in Afrikamarkte. Bestande uit teortiese konstakke uit internasionale sakestudie, internasionale politieke ekonomie en politieke ekonomie, word ‘n raamwerk waarin die invloed van hierdie beleggings op wat assesseer word is interpritiet en kwalitatiet en stan op sekondêre materiaal en data van regeringsagentskappe, akademiese literatuur en die media. Die gebruik van ’n veelsoortige teoretiese raamwerk wat ekonomiese en politieke beleggingsverskynsels uitbeeld, illustreer die versoenbaarheid van politiek, ekonomie en sakegebaseerde akademiese gebiede en die moontlikheid om grondliggende uitkomste uitkomste vir navorsing oor beleggingstendense en -strategieë in ontluikende ekonomieë te bied. Die studie bevind dat die rol van New Delhi en Beijing in die fasilitering en finansiering van buitelandse beleggings strategiese en pragmaties is, en dat beleide maatskappye grootliks beïnvloed ten opsigte van waar hulle belê en watter soort beleggings hulle maak. Verder, verskaf Suid–Suid-samewerking, ‘n raamwerk vir verbintenis langtermyn- politieke en ekonomiese beleggings en ontwikkelingsamewerking met Afrikastate. Indië en China se betrokkenheid in Afrika toon ooreenstemmende en verskillende vorme en motiverings vir BDI, en markte en hulpbronne is primêre motiverings vir hierdie twee lande se maatskappye in die streek te belê.

Zhang, Miao. "Multinationals, the internationalisation process and human resource management strategy : a case study of UK subsidiaries of Chinese MNCs." Thesis, Kingston University, 2001. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/20692/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis addresses human resource management (HRM) strategic choice in multinational corporations (MNCs). The literature in this area is dominated by studies that are concerned with the strategy in which the practices of the "country of origin" of an MNC are adopted by their overseas subsidiaries. This "ethnocentric strategy", is mostly adopted by MNCs from countries that have a comparative competitive advantage in the world economy. The primary aim of this thesis is to investigate an opposite strategy, "localisation strategy", in which the practices of the host country are adopted by overseas subsidiaries of an MNC. The concept of localisation here is not only compliance to local constraints or utilisation of local competitive advantages but more also an approach to absorb advanced management practices from the local environment. The term "absorption localisation" is used to describe this new form. This strategy is most likely to be adopted by MNCs from the countries that are new entrants to international markets as a way to speed up their internationalization process. Theoretically, the HRM strategy adopted by subsidiaries is shaped by a MNCs overall business strategy, which reflects its position in national business systems and cultural and institutional differences from a host country. Structural contingency and managerial competency mediate the strategic choice. Structural factors facilitate certain kinds of strategic choice, but do not determine it, and leave scope for managerial competency to influence the nature of strategic choice and the extent to which the strategy is implemented. Empirically, the research involves the analyses of HRM practices in six Chinese MNCs operating in the UK to explore the nature and process of the strategic choice in these organisations. Drawing on the six case studies, it was found that "absorption localisation" has been adopted by the majority of these companies. This strategy is shaped by the demands of these MNCs internationalisation process and reflects the transformation of Chinese national business systems. It was also found that the extent and process of the strategic implementation are constrained by the characteristics of the national business system, some elements and manners of the national business systems can be observed in the HRM practices of these companies. Meanwhile, structural factors and managerial characteristics facilitate strategic choice and implementation. These findings imply, more generally, that HRM in MNCs is moving towards globalisation or convergence. However, the fact that there is diversity in the extent of localisation and clear evidence of the influence of the country of origin remains, suggests there may be limits to the convergence process.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur les stratégies d’internationalisation des firmes chinoises, particulièrement celles qui s’implantent en Europe. À travers une série d’études empiriques nous visons à traiter plusieurs aspects au regard des stratégies employées par ces firmes chinoises. À travers une première étude de cas, nous avons identifié différents parcours internationaux adoptés par les firmes chinoises en référence avec les théories existantes. Par la suite, nous avons conduit à travers une deuxième étude de cas, une analyse comparative de deux cadres théoriques distincts (modèle OLI et LLL). Cela nous a permis de souligner le pouvoir explicatif important de ces deux théories durant des périodes et des contextes différents dans lesquels les firmes chinoises se sont situées. Troisièmement, nous avons visé plus spécifiquement les partenariats entre les multinationales chinoises et les PME françaises. Ce travail a souligné comment ces deux types de firmes, par la combinaison de leurs asymétries réciproques, peuvent surmonter diverses difficultés de leur développement respectif. Au final, selon le concept de distance psychique proposé par le modèle d’Uppsala, nous avons analysé l’impact de la distance psychique dans le cas des multinationales chinoises. Sur la base d’une étude quantitative, cette fois-ci, nous avons proposé qu’en raison de diverses évolutions sociétales (avancement des technologies d’information ; amélioration des moyens de transport, etc.) et de certaines capacités de ces firmes chinoises, les difficultés liées à la distance psychique rencontrée par ces firmes sont inférieures à celles envisagées par le modèle d’UppsalaThis PhD focuses on the internationalization strategies of Chinese companies, specifically those that are setting up in Europe. Through a series of empirical studies, we aim to treat several aspects with regard to the strategies employed by these Chinese companies. In our first case study, we have identified various international development paths adopted by Chinese firms in reference to existing theories. Subsequently, we conducted, through a second case study, a comparative analysis of two distinct theoretical frameworks (OLI and LLL model). This allowed us to highlight the important explanatory potential of these two theories during different times and contexts in which Chinese firms are embedded. Thirdly, we focused more specifically on partnerships between Chinese multinationals and French SMEs. This work revealed how these two types of firms may overcome various difficulties in combining their reciprocal asymmetries. In the end, according to the concept of psychic distance proposed by the Uppsala model, we addressed the impact of psychic distance in the case of Chinese multinationals. Through a quantitative study, we proposed that due to various societal evolution (advancement of information technologies, improvement of the transport, etc.)and to certain capabilities of Chinese multinationals, the psychic distance related difficulties faced by Chinese multinationals are less than those presumed by the Uppsala model

Lai, Keyan. "Home country institutions and the internationalisation of emerging market multinationals : an ethnographic study of the organisational control in a Chinese MNC." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2016. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/97299/.
Full textAbstract:
The internationalisation of emerging market multinationals (EMNCs) has been one of the most notable dynamics in international business in recent years. Despite the fact that there has been a growing literature over the last few years, we know very little about how these firms actually organise their work and manage their employees globally. Studies of these infant firms are believed to yield insights about how firms become internationalised and provide us with a unique opportunity to challenge and extend existing international business theory. Drawing on an ethnographic study of a major Chinese firm, this study offers detailed accounts on how the company manages its European subsidiaries and employees. Focussing on the organisational control system, it reveals that Teleman's control system is a highly centralised system with expatriates being placed at the centre, who are motivated by strong corporate culture and a well-designed reward system. This study investigates how such a control system has been developed in a Chinese context. It argues for a dynamic relationship between institutions and corporate actors, and suggests that the control system is the outcome of the company's interactions with the institutional environment in China. An Actor/Institution Interaction Process Model has been developed to capture such a process. This study contribute to the study of MNCs in a number of ways. First, it enhances our understanding of the internationalisation process and behaviours of EMNCs and MNCs in general. Second, with the Actor/Institution Interaction Process Model describing the steps and process by which the interactions between institutions and actors take place, this study opens the mysterious black box of how exactly institutions affect the behaviours of firms. In doing this, the study also demonstrates how studies of EMNCs can contribute to the extension of existing theories in IB.

Pour cela, nous étudions les principales motivations d’investissement des entreprises chinoises en France, leurs modes d’entrée sur le marché français ainsi que les différentes façons de contrôler leurs filiales en France. Nous utilisons la méthodologie qualitative pour cette recherche. Au total, nous avons interviewé dix-sept entreprises chinoises ayant réalisé des IDE en France. Nos résultats montrent que la recherche de marchés et d’actifs stratégiques sont les principales motivations des IDE chinois en France. Le gouvernement chinois joue un rôle de promoteur dans le processus d’internationalisation des entreprises chinoises en France. Les entreprises chinoises préfèrent entrer en France par une filiale en propriété exclusive. Les cadres locaux jouent un rôle clé dans la gestion des filiales des entreprises chinoises en FranceThis thesis aims to carry out an in-depth study on Chinese FDI, to analyse the strategy and organization of Chinese companies in France. For this, we study the main investment motivations for Chinese companies in France, their entry modes into the French market, and the different ways of controlling their subsidiaries in France. We used a qualitative methodology for this research. In total, we interviewed seventeen Chinese companies that carried out FDI in France. Our empirical findings indicate that market-seeking and strategic assets seeking are the main motivations for Chinese FDI in France. The Chinese government plays a role of promoter in the process of internationalization of Chinese companies in France. Chinese companies prefer to enter into France through wholly owned subsidiaries. Local managers play a key role in the management of the subsidiaries of Chinese firms in France

Full textAbstract:
International Business research overwhelmingly tends to focus on firms that are perceived as rising international stars. This study, on the other hand, is motivated by the desire to examine other types of business organizations as they navigate the globalization process. In particular, a holistic view of family business groups (FBGs) and mainstream internationalization models governed by the concept of firm-specific advantages (FSAs) are confronted with the empirical findings of actual business expansion via personal connections. This serves as the conceptual framework of the study when investigating the nature of competitiveness of FBGs. Thailand is chosen as the research setting because of its both distinct and relevant economic and cultural background. The analysis begins by quantitatively exploring the population of the 139 largest Thai FBGs. Then, more finegrained explanations are developed as a series of comparative case studies are carried out. Overall, the findings shed light on the study of emerging multinational corporations (EMNCs) in general by detailing and probing the evolution of Thai FBGs. Focus is on the internationalization process(es) and the subsequent need for organizational adjustments; the latter involving imposing a measure of discipline on family affairs as well as modernizing business operations. This adds to the hitherto established notion of latecoming EMNCs simply scaling the technological ladder. In essence, the tension between the "easy" path of relying on connections (i.e., what here is termed "the bamboo network") and the more "difficult" path of building competitiveness (i.e., going beyond the bamboo network) is exposed and explained. This study thus contributes to our understanding of the firm internationalization process.Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögskolan i Stockholm, 2011

Full textAbstract:
Après une orientation privilégiant l’exportation et les IDE entrants, la Chine continue à poursuivre son intégration à l’économie mondiale en abordant une projection accélérée de son économie vers l’international marquée par les investissements directs à l’étranger des entreprises chinoises. En très peu de temps, la Chine est devenu la principale source de flux d’IDE parmi les pays en développement. Ce phénomène présente des caractéristiques spécifiques et a pris une ampleur inattendue. L’économie étatique de la Chine nous amène à conclure souvent qu’il existe derrière ces mouvements les motivations politiques et la mise en place d’une stratégie d’État au sein de ces activités. Néanmoins, le gouvernement n’a pas vraiment joué un rôle décisif dans ce phénomène. Le comportement du gouvernement du pays d’origine est en fait un des facteurs exogènes qui peuvent affecter la configuration OLI! [Dunning, 1993a] de ses entreprises et donc les caractéristiques des activités d’investissement à l’étranger de ses entreprises. Le dynamisme et les spécificités des investisseurs chinois sont plutôt à l’origine d’une forte volonté entrepreneuriale qui coïncide avec une maturation des entreprises chinoises grâce au développement économique du pays. Une étude approfondie sur les motivations des entreprises chinoises nous montre que la recherche du marché a été la motivation principale des entreprises chinoises et qu’elles possèdent des avantages spécifiques ex ante qui sont à l’origine de sa nationalité, tels que l’imperfection du marché de capital, la flexibilité et le réseautage des entreprises chinoisesAfter an orientation focusing on export and inward FDI, China continues its integration into worldeconomy by an accelerated projection of its economy to the world, which is demonstrated by Chinesecompanies’ outward direct investment. In a very short time, China has become the main source of FDI flow among developing countries. This phonomenon has shown particular characteristics and has taken off at an unexpected scale and speed. The state economy of China leads us to conclude usually that there is any political motivation and national strategy behind these activities. Nevertheless, the government didn’t play a decisive role in this phenomenon. The behaviors of home country’s government is in fact one of the exogenious factors that can affect the OLI configuration [Dunning, 1993a] of its companies and therefore the characteristics of the outward investment activities of its companies. The dynamic and the specificities of Chinese investors are rather derived from a strong entrepreneurial desire which coincides with a maturation of Chinese companies thanks to the economic development of China. An in-depth study on Chinese companies’ motivations has shown us tha! t market-seeking is the principal motivation of Chinese companie’ outwart investment and they possess ex ante specific advantages derived from their nationality,such as capital market imperfection, flexibility and networking capacity

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse tend à évaluer dans quelle mesure la définition du concept de RSE, son étude académique ou sa mise en œuvre sont contextualisées par des facteurs locaux, notamment institutionnels, ou au contraire peuvent s’intégrer dans une approche universelle. L’analyse se fait selon une approche franco-chinoise mais la thèse se focalise plus particulièrement sur l’environnement institutionnel chinois, objet du premier chapitre. Au terme d’une étude en sciences de gestion et en droit, essentiellement en français et accessoirement américain et chinois, le chapitre 2 propose une définition de la RSE mais conclut qu’une définition universelle de la RSE parait effectivement difficile à atteindre. Dans le chapitre 3, une analyse textuelle effectuée sur un échantillon de 600 articles permet de décrire la façon dont est structuré le champ de la recherche académique sur la RSE et les concepts associés en Chine, de 1980 à 2011. Les chapitres 4 et 5 consistent en l’étude de cas unique d’une multinationale française opérant en Chine depuis 1995. Le chapitre 4 a révélé l’existence d’une combinaison de facteurs déterminant la stratégie d’internationalisation de la RSE de la multinationale étudiée, à savoir globale et adaptable localement au niveau de la mise en œuvre. Le chapitre 5 analyse les facteurs justifiant la variété transnationale des pratiques RSE et permet d’établir que, dans un même environnement institutionnel, selon les sujets RSE et les normes institutionnelles en cause, la mise en œuvre de la stratégie RSE de la Filiale tantôt reflète le contexte économique et institutionnel chinois et tantôt s’y substitue alors même que, dans certains cas, il est délicat de se prononcerThe purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the conditions under which CSR definition, research or implementation are influenced and contextualized by local, especially institutional, factors or in the contrary can be integrated in a universal approach. Two different national context are explored, France and China. However, thesis analysis is more specifically focused on Chinese institutional environment and the first chapter deals with this topic. In the chapter 2, through an analysis within two disciplines, management and law (primarily French but also American and Chinese law), a CSR definition is proposed but results highlight the difficulty to reach a universal definition of CSR. In the chapter 3, a textual analysis was used on a 600 articles sample to investigate the structure of academic research in the field of CSR and related concepts in China from 1980 to 2011. In the chapters 4 and 5, a single case study concerning a French multinational corporation (MNC) operating in China since 1995 was conducted. Findings of the chapter 4 establish that a combination of different factors influence the CSR internationalization strategy of the said MNC. Factors that may drive variation in CSR practices across countries are studied in the chapter 5. Findings show that in the same institutional environment, depending on CSR issues and institutional norms, the implementation of CSR strategy by the said MNC subsidiary in China sometimes reflects and sometimes is a substitute to Chinese institutional and economic context while the impact remains unclear in certain cases

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka de multinationella företagens ”tvingande joint venture-avtal” med de kinesiska tillverkarna, och hur det påverkar teknologisk överföring. Som metod för att samla in information valde uppsatsförfattaren att genomföra kvalitativa intervjuer, vilka var semi-strukturerade. Genom ett icke-sannolikhetsurval valdes tre företag ut för att delta i studien. Studiens slutsatser tyder på förutsatt att den kinesiska regeringens krav på joint venture-avtal reviderades eller helt slopades och de multinationella fordonstillverkarna därmed fick valfri möjlighet till FDI, då skulle det leda till att färre företag ingår joint ventures med kinesiska tillverkare. Dessutom ökar incitamenten för de multinationella företagen att överföra teknologier till den kinesiska fordonsindustrin om de har möjligheten att fritt bestämma FDI, däremot är det ingen garanti för mer effektiva teknologier. Företagen överför endast teknologier och produkter som den kinesiska marknaden efterfrågar och är beredd att betala för. Multinationella företag kan inte implementera de mest avancerade teknologierna i fordon ämnade för den kinesiska marknaden på grund av bristande kvalitet på färdbränsle. Enligt de multinationella företagen krävs det därför hårdare och mer strikta regleringar från den kinesiska regeringens sida när det gäller kvaliteten på bränsle. Denna studie har bidragit med kunskap om hur joint venture-avtalen inom just den kinesiska fordonsindustrin påverkar den teknologiska överföringen utifrån de multinationella företagens perspektiv. Framförallt belyser studien betydelsen av relationskvalitet, tillit och absorptionsförmåga i samband med teknologisk överföring. Förutsatt att kraven på joint venture antingen revideras eller helt slopas i framtiden skulle det vara intressant att genomföra en liknande studie och således jämföra omfattningen på teknologisk överföring innan och efter de eventuella lagändringarna. Det vill säga hur effekterna av valfri FDI för multinationella företag i själva verket påverkar teknologisk överföring. Ytterligare förslag på framtida forskning är att genomföra en liknande studie men utifrån ett mer djupgående samhällsperspektiv.The purpose of this study was to investigate the multinational corporations “mandatory joint venture agreement" with the Chinese manufacturers, and how it affects technology transfer. The researcher chose to conduct qualitative interviews which were semi-structured, as a method to collect information. Through a non-probability sample, three companies were selected to participate in the study. The study's findings suggest that if the Chinese government's demands on the joint venture agreement was revised or completely abolished, and the multinational vehicle manufacturers got free choice of FDI, then it will lead to fewer companies which will establish joint ventures with Chinese manufacturers. It would also increase the incentives for multinationals to transfer technologies to the Chinese automotive industry. However, it is not a guarantee for more efficient technologies, because the multinationals only transfer technologies and products that the Chinese market demands and is willing to pay for. Multinational companies can not implement the most advanced technologies in the vehicles destined for the Chinese market due to the lack of quality of the fuel. According to the multinationals, they require harder and stricter regulations by the Chinese government, when it comes to the quality of the fuel. This study has contributed with knowledge about how the joint-venture agreements in the Chinese automotive affect the technological transfer, based on the multinational corporations’ perspective. In particular, the study highlights the importance of relationship quality, trust and absorptive capacity in the context of technology transfer. Provided the requirements for joint ventures either were revised or abolished in the future, it would be interesting to conduct a similar study and thus compare the extent of technology transfer before and after any legislative changes. Additional suggestions for future research is to conduct a similar study but from a more profound societal perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The model of the Chinese family business (CFB) and its institutional origins was initially developed by examining the development of these firms in their domestic context (e.g. Whitley, 1999, 1994a; Hamilton, 1997 and Redding, 1993). These authors proposed limits to the growth of CFBs based on their specific characteristics as firstly, family-owned and managed, secondly opportunistic in their growth strategy with a reluctance to invest in fixed assets that would lock them into certain sectors and thirdly the nature and role of gllanxi in their development. This thesis revisits these claims in the context of the increased significance of globalization for CFBs and their continued rapid economic growth throughout the 1990s. Through an in-depth case-study of four large Taiwanese multinational CFBs located in two distinctive settings (i.e. high-tech and traditional industries), the thesis examines the extent to which the three key characteristics of the CFB, viz. family control, opportunism and gllanxi have acted as barriers to intemationalisation and growth. The thesis argues that these features remain of central importance to large CFBs but the ways in which they work has changed over the last decade in order to facilitate intemationalisation and growth. They have not been major barriers to this process but rather have facilitated it. The case-study findings indicate that although there have been changes in Taiwanese CFBs, these firms still possess their Chinese characteristics and show little sign of converging on to the Anglo-Saxon model of multinational firms.

Durant les dernières décennies, la globalisation de l’économie mondiale s’est non seulement développée à une vitesse accélérée et inattendue, mais elle s’est également complexifiée de manière inédite. Ce processus a induit des changements considérables dans l’organisation de la production industrielle au niveau mondial. Parallèlement au renforcement de la globalisation a émergé le phénomène de la régionalisation. Les firmes multinationales, organisées aujourd’hui en firmes réseaux, sont devenues les acteurs économiques principaux et semblent façonner l’économie mondiale au point d’en déterminer l’évolution future. Elles peuvent également être des moteurs puissants de rattrapage et de mise à niveau du secteur industriel dans une économie donnée. Pour démontrer le développement à la fois global et régional des firmes multinationales, nous avons choisi l’industrie automobile qui, par son étendue et son intensité technologique, permet d’illustrer plus concrètement les principales évolutions économiques de ces dernières années. L’analyse des principaux pays d’Europe Centrale et Orientale et de la Chine permet de montrer le rôle qu’ont joué les firmes multinationales de la construction automobile dans la transition d’une économie planifiée socialiste à un système d’économie de marché, ainsi que de mettre en évidence le processus d’intégration des territoires dans la stratégie globale et régionale des constructeursDuring the last decades, the globalization of the world economy has not simply developed at an accelerated and unexpected pace, but it has also become more complex than ever before. This process led to significant changes in the organization of industrial production at the world level. Parallel to the globalization, the phenomenon of regionalization has emerged. Today multinational firms organized as network enterprises, became the principal actors of the world economy and they seem to shape the direction of its future evolution. They can also serve as the engine for industrial upgrading and catching up for a given economy. To demonstrate the global and regional development of multinational enterprises, we have chosen the automotive industry since it is a wide and technology-intensive sector and can highlight the main stages and changes of the last decades’ economic evolution. The analysis of the main Central and Eastern European Countries and of China enables to shed light on the role that multinational enterprises within the automobile manufacturing sector have played in the transition from a socialist planned economy to a market economy and on the process of integration of these territories in the global and regional strategy of the vehicle manufacturers

L’objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser la globalisation de la R&D des FMN dans un cadre d’économie évolutionniste. Ce travail aborde des questions à la fois théoriques et empiriques ayant trait aux déterminants de cette nouvelle globalisation ainsi que les correspondances existantes entre eux. Nous procédons dans une première partie à une analyse théorique évolutionniste de la firme, du processus d’innovation et de l’environnement d’innovation de l’entreprise. Ces analyses dégagent théoriquement deux différentes natures de déterminants des activités de R&D des FMN à l’étranger. La deuxième partie est consacrée à une étude empirique avec les méthodes d’analyse des données. Elle a pour objet de mettre en évidence les correspondances entre les déterminants et d’identifier des influences des déterminants associés sur les caractéristiques de centre de recherche des FMN à l’étrangerThe objective of this thesis is to analyze the globalization of the R&D of multinational firms within a framework of evolutionary economics. The research tackles theoretical and empirical questions related to the determinants of this new globalization and the correspondences existing between them. The first part is an evolutionary theoretical analysis of firm, of process innovation and of environment of innovation for firms. Theoretically, the analysis gives off two different natures of determinants of overseas R&D activities by multinational firms. The second part is devoted to an empirical study with methods of factor analysis of data. This part aims to highlight the correspondence of the determinants and to identify the influences of determinants associated on the characteristics of multinational firm’s abroad research centers

Full textAbstract:
China’s economy is experiencing the most tremendous growth in the world. Many MNCs come to China mainly expecting cost-reduction and new market. But these MNCs face a shortage of talents in China. Thus, the MNCs search the ways to develop the talents by themselves and retain qualified talents. But not all Western retention and development tools can be applied to Chinese employees.
Thus the main question company has to answer in China is “How to retain and develop Chinese talents?” So in our study we intend to answer on this question and realize which tools MNC can use for retention and development of Chinese employees, and in what way it should adjust them with the cultural characteristics of Chinese employees.
In order to achieve it, we conducted our research using different methodologies (literatures, case studies, interviews) to find the answer about effective retention and development of Chinese employees.

(2) : How do multinational firms invest in China? (3) : How to compare the efficiency of the China-European and China-Asian Joint Ventures in penetrating the Chinese market and establishing a secure presence? To reply to these questions, I will firstly outline the many theories explaining the transfer of three factors- capital, technology and human resource- which encourage European and Asian firms to exchange with Chinese partners. Secondly, I will indicate the evolution of FDI entering China, its sector-related distribution, its investment in advantage factors, and its countries of origin etc. Finally, I will establish a typology according to three indicators- financial analyse, synthetic evaluation and subjective satisfaction- with the statistic treatment in order to compare the efficiency of the China-European and China-Asian Joint Ventures in China

Full textAbstract:
La présence chinoise en Amérique latine et Caraïbes (ALC), tout comme dans d’autres régions du monde, a fortement augmenté depuis une quinzaine d’années. Au-delà des motifs traditionnels de cette expansion au niveau économique (la recherche de ressources et de nouveaux marchés), la Chine représente un partenaire particulier pour les pays latino-américains en raison des frontières floues entre les formes de propriété publique et privée, et des objectifs stricts de son gouvernement en matière de politique industrielle et de développement sur le long terme. En outre, des disparités régionales sont apparues entre l’Amérique du Sud, longtemps favorisée par l’augmentation de la demande chinoise en matières premières, et le Mexique, qui s’est rapidement retrouvé en situation de concurrence ouverte avec la Chine sur différents segments de son secteur secondaire, et dont la dynamique d’intégration en Amérique du Nord fut profondément impactée par l’arrivée des entreprises chinoises sur le marché des États-Unis. En combinant une analyse approfondie des bases de données disponibles sur les investissements directs à l’étranger (IDE) de la Chine en ALC et trois études de cas originales d’entreprises chinoises installées dans le domaine manufacturier au Mexique, cette thèse montre que ces opérations présentent des modalités inédites notamment en termes de rythme d’expansion et de capacités d’adaptation aux environnements locaux. Cependant, les externalités positives ou négatives des IDE chinois demeurent tributaires des interactions entre le contexte institutionnel du pays d’accueil et les stratégies des entreprisesChinese footprint in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), as in other parts of the globe, has surged in the last fifteen years. Beyond the traditional drivers of this expansion from an economic perspective (securing resources and new markets), China represents a special partner for Latin-American countries because of grey lines delimiting public and private ownership, strict industrial policy and long-term development goals. Besides, regional discrepancies have appeared between South America, which benefited from the boom of Chinese demand for raw materials, and Mexico, which found itself in direct competition with China on different segments of his secondary sector, and whose integration dynamic in North America was deeply impacted by the growing shares of Chinese companies in the US market. Combining an extensive analysis of existing databases about foreign direct investments (FDI) from China in LAC and three original case studies of Chinese companies located in the manufacturing industry in Mexico, this dissertation shows unique features in these operations such as an accelerated growth path and relative adaptive skills to foreign environments. Nevertheless, the positive or negative externalities of Chinese FDI remain dependent upon the interactions between the institutional context of the host country and the companies’ strategies

Full textAbstract:
The internationalisation of Chinese firms has attracted attention worldwide although most of Chinese MNEs are still in their early stage of internationalisation. Chinese firms internationalisation has unique characteristics due to their home country s unique political environment, culture and economic structure. This thesis aims to investigate the implications of both of short-term stock market performance and long-term operating performance of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) by Chinese firms. Drawing on signalling theory and the institution-based view, the thesis firstly examines the extent of stock market reactions to the announcement of cross-border merger and acquisition (M&A) deals from a financial perspective, based on an event study of a sample of Chinese firms during the period 2000-2012. The findings indicate that Chinese firms cross-border M&As result in a positive stock market reaction. The shareholders of Chinese firms that acquire a target firm in a host country with a low level of political risk gain higher cumulative abnormal returns than those firms targeting companies in countries with a high level of political risk. However, the shareholders of Chinese state-owned enterprises experience lower abnormal returns compared with those of Chinese privately owned firms when engaging in cross-border M&A deals. The thesis further examines the impact of M&As on Chinese firms post-acquisition operating performance by integrating organisational learning theory with the institution-based view. The findings indicate that firms with serial cross-border M&As achieve better performance than those engaged in first-time cross-border M&As, and those with horizontal M&As perform better than those carrying out vertical M&As. The positive effects of acquisition experience and horizontal acquisitions on the post-acquisition performance of Chinese acquiring firms are reinforced by the institutional quality and language similarity of host countries. Finally, this thesis investigates from a management perspective how Chinese MNEs adopt different management strategies (e.g. expatriates and subsidiary autonomy) to respond to environmental challenges and improve the performance of overseas subsidiaries. Drawing on the resource dependence theory, this thesis examines the indirect effects of expatriates on subsidiary performance via subsidiary autonomy based on a survey sample of Chinese MNEs. The findings show that an increase in expatriates reduces the level of subsidiary autonomy and thus negatively affects subsidiary performance. This study also finds that the institutional quality of host countries reinforces the negative impact of expatriates on subsidiary autonomy, but reduces the importance of the latter on subsidiary performance.

Wang, Lake. "An exploratory study of global leaders' and Chinese managers' leadership constructs in multinational corporations in China." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2012. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/7570.
Full textAbstract:
This research explores the leadership constructs of global leaders and Chinese managers in multi-national corporations (MNCs) in order to understand whether their constructs are misaligned, and if so, in what ways. To address these questions, data was gathered via repertory grid test interviews with 31 global leaders and 59 Chinese managers in six MNCs’ China organizations.
Analysis subsequently revealed that global leaders rely upon twelve key constructs to define global leadership capability and potential. These are: creative, drive to improve, communication skill, collaborative style, charisma, professional knowledge and experience, visionary, cross culture, flexibility, confidence, team development and emotional intelligence. Crucially however, half of the global leaders’ key constructs were not identified as important to Chinese managers; furthermore, most of the missing constructs resonate with charismatic and transformational leadership characteristics, indicating a gap between the two groups’ leadership concepts.
Subsequently, both groups of leaders’ leadership constructs were compared with their respective companies’ Leadership Competency Frameworks. The results again revealed gaps, suggesting reliance upon headquarter-developed leadership frameworks to communicate leadership expectations and develop local leaders is either deficient, or inappropriate.
The global leaders and Chinese managers’ perspectives on Chinese managers’ career barriers were also explored, with the evidence indicating that perceptions of both groups are influenced by their own cultural assumptions. As the global leaders’ perspectives aligned with their own leadership constructs but Chinese managers were not aware of the importance of those constructs, it seems to support the contention that a bias may exist when global leaders evaluate Chinese managers’ leadership capability and potential.

Cette thèse étudie l'effet d'agglomération sur les nouveaux entrants des IDE, les stratégies de localisation et de co-localisation des FMN en Chine. Au niveau industriel, on analyse profondément la distribution géographique des secteurs manufacturiers en Chine en utilisant des outils statistiques. Et puis, par les estimations du Panel classique et du Système GMM, on prouve une relation dynamique et mutuelle entre l'agglomération et les IDE entrants dans ses secteurs de technologies. Au niveau de la firme, on étudie progressivement les stratégies de localisation des FMN. Par intégrer les théories des jeux, de l'organisation, et des économies d'agglomération, et aussi la nouvelle géographie économique, on compare les stratégies de localisation des FMN américaines et européennes dans les secteurs manufacturiers chinois, en utilisant les modèles des choix discrets, y compris le logit conditionnel et le logit structuré. Les hétérogénéités des FMN, les attributs économiques des provinces (villes) d'accueil, la structure géographique, les effets variés d'agglomération, et les types des R&D sont tous considérés. Nos résultats montrent que le processus de localisation des firmes et leurs déterminants varient selon les pays d'origine, les fonctions des filiales et les provinces (ou villes) d'accueil. Les stratégies d'agglomération et de co-localisation sont préférées par les firmes. Par ailleurs, le marché du travail, la demande du marché et l'infrastructure du transport sont également les facteurs importants de localisation.

Full textAbstract:
The International Relations (IR) literature has been dominated by studies on great powers, often neglecting the role of small states. Moreover, the accounts on small states have generally overlooked the role of geography. This thesis proposes an analytical framework to observe the role of geography by observing the impact of Multinational Transboundary Infrastructures (MTIs) on the relational power of small states. The framework is then applied to the case study of Laos observing the impact of two selected MTIs – the Xayaburi dam and the Boten-Vientiane high-speed railway – on Laos’s relational power with respect to Vietnam and China. Data has been collected through a set of 48 semi-structured qualitative elite interviews mainly carried out during a period of fieldwork in Laos in 2015. The data generated by the interviews, triangulated with other primary and secondary sources, enabled a process tracing analysis of the two negotiation processes on the selected MTIs. The findings show that the two observed MTIs positively affected the relational power of Laos despite the asymmetry that shapes its bilateral relationships with both Vietnam and China in terms of capabilities. The case study therefore indicates that a central geographic position could reduce asymmetries of power and that relational power manifest a greater explanatory capacity than power-as-capabilities. This thesis contributes to knowledge adding empirical material on the diplomatic negotiation on the Xayaburi dam; on the Boten–Vientiane high-speed railway; on Laos’s international relations with Vietnam and China; and on China’s High-Speed Railway Diplomacy. The thesis contributes also to the theoretical literature by identifying a geographic gap in small states studies. Analytically, the thesis contributes developing the concept of MTIs and an original analytical framework to study relational power. Finally, methodologically the thesis provides new insights on how to gain access to elites in Laos.

Full textAbstract:
The intense competition arising from globalisation requires MNCs to manage their HRs globally and strategically to become a source of competitive advantage. Hence, SIHRM acknowledges the need to balance global integration and local responsiveness, together with emphasising the importance of seeking strategic fit between HR policies and business strategy, which in turn leads to superior firm performance. Furthermore, this development also increased awareness and recognition of the role of senior managers and cultural traditions. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between SIHRM effectiveness and firm performance as perceived by senior management coupled with the influence from MNCs' headquarters and Chinese cultural values. Consequently, the researcher selected a case study approach with a triangulation data collection method through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews undertaken in four selected subsidiaries of MNCs. The research findings strengthened the theoretical foundations of several HRM models, together with supporting Analoui's eight-parameter approach (1999) as a functional, coherent and interlinked framework regarding the effectiveness of senior managers. In particular, this research found that quality enhancement of products and service was the preferred and adopted key business strategy amongst the studied MNCs. Whilst they are also seeking to balance globalisation and localisation through reconciling control and adaptation rather than satisfying one at the expense of the other, such that the trend is for Western HR policies to be gradually accepted and internalised by the younger generation of the Chinese managers. Finally, this research made several recommendations to foreign MNCs operating in China.

Full textAbstract:
Multinational corporations are active in a complex global society, embedded in a web of different cultures and varying perceptions. Distant markets constitute challenging discrepancies that are a demanding process to bridge, but nevertheless some of these markets are critical for the future success of corporations. Perhaps the most opportunity rich and desired market for global actors is China, where the economical progression has been impressive and is expected to continue to progress incredibly fast in the coming years. With a concentration of the world’s leading actors, all in the search for a continuing future success, attention from head offices is disproportionally distributed to China in order to support the local subsidiaries. A relevant question here is if attention without presence is enough? Understanding the size and growth pace is one thing, which can be done from a distance, but understanding the people, the governing bodies, and the culture is another. And what are the consequences of disproportionally distributing a limited amount of central attention for the less prioritized regions? These tricky questions are creating a managerial puzzle for multinational corporations to solve, and a prerequisite for doing this is through a sufficient amount of knowledge. An increasingly used method in these situations is to use intermediaries in form of consultants that have the experience and knowledge to mediate meanings from the corporation to the target audience. So how do these challenges take shape in a specific case for a multinational corporation and how are the challenges handled in the view from representatives from the corporation and consultants?

Li, Xinxiang. "The design and use of management control systems in a Chinese multinational corporation : a neo-institutional perspective." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2016. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/385665/.
Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the role of management control systems (MCS) in a Chinese multinational construction company (International GS). In particular it explores how MCS rules and mechanisms for overseas operation (e.g. budgetary control, cost control, performance measurement and incentive system and localized management) are designed in the case company’s head office in China (GSLZ), and how these formal rules and mechanisms are implemented in one of its overseas subsidiaries in Ghana (GSJN). In-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with top and middle managers in both research sites, alongside reviews of documents. A neo-institutionalist theoretical framework, drawn from Scott’s (2013) theoretical concepts of regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive institutions, are combined with the notion of contextualization (Tsui, 2006, 2007) to interpret and analyse the case study findings. Findings from the head office show how regulative and normative institutional pressures conflictingly and simultaneously circumscribed the company’s MCS design. Whilst the MCS rules were designed in accordance to regulatory pressures and in particular as a result of the government’s pursuance of a ‘marketization’ policy, it also revealed an authoritative control mode emphasising centralization, compliance and military approaches. The study of MCS implementation further showed that although rules were imposed in the Ghanaian subsidiary, practical variations emerged as a response to the contradictions in the setting of MCS rules and mechanisms, and localized management control practices were also established to adapt to the local political and market needs. However, this study further reveals that a specific logic (i.e. ‘policy orientation’) pervaded the Chinese managers’ design and use of MCS, leading to a problematic role of MCS in practice and a failure to achieve the objectives of localized management. Informed by Scott’s idea of a cultural-cognitive institutional order, this study further contends that the Chinese managers’ specific logic arose because their cognition were shaped by, and reflected, certain intrinsic notions derived from the interactions between regulative and normative institutions. Furthermore, this study argues that the unique Chinese culture, as the fundamental institutional logic, provides the infrastructure on which not only beliefs, but norms and rules rests. Two characteristics of Chinese culture (i.e. paternalism and Guanxi) have been identified to explain the rationalities behind the problems of MCS design and use in the case company. Due to the increasing presence of Chinese multinational corporations in emerging and less-developed economies, this study aims to offer new insights in the study of MCS development and dissemination in non-western contexts. Moreover, the particular focus on a construction company brings new evidence since this sector, in spite of its size and importance in modern economies, rarely features in management accounting and control research. Lastly, this study contributes to extant cross-cultural accounting work. Whilst recent work remains influenced (and limited) by Hofstede's notions of national culture (Baskerville, 2003; Joannides, Berland and Wickramasinghe, 2010), this study highlights how the underlying facets of Chinese culture are relevant to the design and use of MCS in Chinese multinational corporations.

Cette thèse examine l’imbrication du social et du matériel dans les entreprises multinationales, lors du transfert transnational des pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines, et plus particulièrement le transfert des pratiques de gestion de la performance. En me basant sur l’étude de quatre entités chinoises locales d’une entreprise transnationale comme cadre de mon étude de cas, j’explore comment les salariés locaux s’approprient les pratiques de gestion de la performance en internalisation les pratiques globales et en innovant pour les adapter à leur environnement local. Cette étude se fonde sur 60 entretiens, des données secondaires et des observations collectées sur plus de dix ans. Dans la première partie de cette thèse j’explore plus particulièrement l’appropriation des pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines au niveau micro et j’identifie quatre archétypes de l’appropriation des pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines : formelle, cérémoniale, déviante et innovante. Dans la deuxième partie de cette thèse, je me concentre sur l’appropriation des pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines au niveau meso. En me fondant sur la théorie de la Sociomatérialité, je propose une nouvelle définition de l’hybridation comme le processus par lequel des pratiques uniques émergent dans des filiales locales à partir de l’imbrication du social et du matériel entre le siège et les filiales locales des entreprises multinationales. Cette définition me permet d’identifier deux nouvelles formes de gestion de la performance dans les quatre entités de l’entreprise multinationale étudiée que j’ai appelées la pratique harmonieuse confucéenne de gestion de la performance et la pratique harmonieuse instrumentale de gestion de la performance. Dans le troisième chapitre, je me base sur les résultats empiriques des deux chapitres précédents pour conceptualiser un modèle multiniveau intégré du transfert transnational des pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines, en développant un autre concept central de la théorie de la Sociomatérialité: la notion de « dispositif ». Cette thèse a ainsi pour objectif de contribuer à la fois à la littérature en gestion internationale des ressources humaines et à la littérature sur la sociologie des outils de gestionThe present dissertation examines the entanglement of the social and material in Multinational Enterprises during the transnational transfer of Human Resource Management Practices, especially Performance Management Practices. Using 4 local Chinese entities of a transnational firm as my case study, I explore how local employees make Performance Management practices their own, both internalizing global practices and innovating to adapt to local environments. This research is based on 60 interviews, secondary materials and direct observations over more than 10 years. In the first chapter of this dissertation, I explore more specifically the adoption of Human Resource Management practices at the micro level, and I identify four archetypes of the adoption of Human Resource Management practices: formal, ceremonial, deviant and innovative. In the second chapter, I focus on the adoption of Performance Management practices in Multinational Enterprises at a meso level. Drawing on sociomaterial theory, I propose a new definition of hybridization as being a process by which unique practices emerge in local subsidiaries from the entanglement of the social and the material at Headquarters and in local subsidiaries. This definition allowed me to identify two new hybrid performance management practices in the four Chinese entities of the Multinational Enterprises under investigation, which I have called the “harmonious Confucian” Performance Management practice and the “harmonious instrumental” Performance Management practice. In the third chapter, I build on the results of the two previous empirical chapters to conceptualize an integrated multilevel model for the transnational transfer of Human Resource Management practices in Multinational Enterprises by expanding another central concept to sociomaterial theory: the notion of “apparatus”. This dissertation aims therefore at contributing both to International Human Resources Management literature and to the literature of the sociology of management tools

The analysis uses Situation Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) as the theoretical framework, and proposes advices of crisis management for multinational technology enterprises in emerging countries represented by Huawei. The results show that when multinational technology enterprises face crisis, it is necessary to analyze the situation of crisis in a rational and localized way according to different social and cultural context, and adopt appropriate crisis communication strategies. While dealing with a complex cultural environment, avoiding cultural conflicts is an effective choice.

Full textAbstract:
International Human Resource Management (IHRM) plays a significant role in Multinational Corporation (MNC) management and governance, particularly when such organizations transfer policies and practices from their headquarters to subsidiaries overseas. However, there is some scepticism concerning the balance and coherence in the relationship between standardized systems set in MNC headquarters and the adapted practices in their subsidiaries. This may become evident when considering the factors that influence the design, conduct and related effectiveness of human resource practices such as performance management. This research explores the extent to which transferability of a model for performance management, initially based on western practice, is possible from China to Africa, taking into account the required adaptation of its specific Chinese characteristics to specific African conditions. It concludes that performance management can make an important and long-lasting contribution to Chinese MNCs in Africa and raise their competitiveness and efficiency, although significant challenges remain. In the exploration of the design and implementation of this HR practice in the headquarters and subsidiary contexts, the study evaluates the methods incorporated in performance management systems for their effective transfer and examines the key factors which concern stakeholders, including employee engagement, intercultural communication and sustainable impacts within a development context. The research develops an analytical framework for taking into account the context, the influential factors and the effectiveness criteria of performance management systems in Chinese MNCs when their IHRM practices are transferred into different contexts, with specific reference to an Africa case study context. The study establishes that in the contexts considered the benefits of standardized HR practices, such as performance management, may be gained most fully for both headquarters and subsidiary when these practices are set within a win-win frame for both parts of the organisation. One which is characterised by an appropriate balance of standardisation and adaptability.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche menée dans le cadre de cette thèse vise à étudier les conditions d’adoptions des politiques et pratiques de management dans les filiales des firmes multinationales. Afin de trancher le débat entre les auteurs universalistes qui prétendent que les meilleures pratiques sont opérationnelles en tout lieu, et les culturalistes pour qui le succès de ces pratiques dépend de leur adaptation à chaque culture nationale, le choix s’est porté sur l’étude du cas extrême de l’adoption des normes ISO 9000 dans les filiales danoises à cent pour cent, en Chine. La première partie du travail positionne la recherche d’un point de vue théorique dans le courant institutionnaliste qui permet d’envisager l’organisation en interaction avec les autres institutions sans neutraliser l’effet de la culture. La deuxième partie s’attache à présenter la méthodologie basée sur une approche qualitative et abductive. Enfin, les résultats sont développés et analysés dans la troisième partie. Ils donnent une typologie des organisations certifiées ISO 9001 et décrivent le système des forces institutionnelles qui légitime le détournement et la non internalisation constatés des normes ISO 9000The purpose of this doctorate thesis is to study the adoption conditions of management policies and practices in multinational companies’ subsidiaries. An extreme case study has been chosen (Danish wholly owned subsidiaries in China) in order to question both the Universalists’ assumption that best practices are operational everywhere, and the Culturalists’ statement according to which the success of practices depends on their adaptation to local national cultures. The first part of the thesis explains how the Institutionalists’ perspective allows studying the organization’s interactions with other institutions without cancelling the effect of cultures. The second part presents the methodology based on a qualitative and abductive approach. Finally, the results are developed and analyzed in the third part which gives a typology of ISO 9001 certified organizations and describes the systemic institutional forces that legitimate the found misuse and noninternalization of ISO 9000 standards

O presente trabalho investiga empiricamente os determinantes de investimentos chineses e brasileiros no exterior e faz uma comparação entre a China e o Brasil no sentido de determinantes e características gerais de investimento no exterior, como o volume, a escolha de destinação. Em base de uma revisão teórica da área de investimento no exterior no primeiro artigo, testamos empiricamente, no secondo artigo, as hipóteses sugeridas pela teoria de Paradigma Eclético do Dunning e pelas outras literaturas nesta área pelo modelo de painel, utilizando os dados oficiais do Brasil e da China coletados no período entre 2006 e 2012. Encontramos os mesmos resultados de variáveis principais, os quais indicam que investimentos no exterior de ambos dois países tem motivação significativa de buscar mercado, eficiência e exportar capital intelectual, mas a busca de recurso natural é uma motivação insignificativa para os dois países. Encontramos também os diferentes resultados em variáveis controladas entre dois países.This study investigates the determinants of Chinese and Brazilian outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and conducts a comparison between China and Brazil in terms of FDI determinants and general FDI features like volume, location choice. Based on an extensive and in-depth theoretical review of main FDI theories in first article, we, in second article, test empirically our hypotheses suggested by Dunning\'s Eclectic Paradigm theory and others FDI literature through a panel data model, using Brazil and China official data collected between 2006 and 2012. We find same results of main variables that both Chinese and Brazilian OFDI have significant motivations of market-seeking, efficiency-seeking and asset-exporting (contrary to hypothesis), but resource-seeking OFDI is insignificant for both countries. We also find their difference in results of control variables.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de la recherche est d'identifier les stratégies susceptibles d'augmenter les succès et de diminuer les échecs des implantations de FMN en Chine, en étudiant leurs avantages comparatifs, compétitifs et de coopération. Ces avantages sont basés sur la théorie de la localisation, les approches par les ressources et les compétences, la stratégie concurrentielle de la firme, de l'industrie, et des multinationales, ainsi que la théorie du pouvoir et de la confiance. Le terrain choisi pour cette recherche est l'industrie automobile chinoise. La méthodologie de la recherche s'appuie sur la complémentarité des choix des approches qualitative et quantitative. Une étude qualitative a été construite avec une analyse de sept constructeurs et équipementiers américains, européens et japonais, inspirée principalement par les trente-huit entretiens que nous avons obtenus en Chine. Puis, une étude quantitative avec un modèle d'équations structurelles sur les 216 échantillons valide nos hypothèses concernant les stratégies d'implantation des FMN en Chine.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Företagsekonomiska institutionen, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-301160.
Full textAbstract:
In face of the rapid globalization, more and more emerging market MNEs (EMNEs) are assigning expatriates to establish and manage overseas tasks in order to gain the competitive advantages in global markets. Consequently, the issue of expatriate management within the context of EMNEs has become an important concern in the field of IHRM. The purpose of the thesis is to delineate how expatriate management of Chinese MNEs that shaped by unique Chinese informal institutional environment may impact upon the expatriate effectiveness (work adjustment and job performance) in foreign countries. The thesis uses a qualitative research and collects empirical data from 11 Chinese expatriates working in 3 different Chinese MNEs’ Nordic divisions. The empirical results reveal the fact that Harmony is positively related to work adjustment through indoctrinating the specific corporate value, Group Orientation (family attachment) has positive relationship with job performance, Top-down control has negative relationship with work adjustment because of the hierarchy pressure, and Guanxi has no link with expatriate effectiveness under the given regulations and staffing policies. In the context of EMNEs, the influences of four different informal institutional factors are able to intervene the IHRM practices so as to increase or decrease the expatriate effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat explore les stratégies et modes opératoires des acteurs chinois d'une société multinationale française qui ont adapté une ressource globale, à savoir un progiciel de gestion intégré (PGI), de façon singulière et officieuse, dans le but de répondre à des logiques contradictoires, voire rivalisantes, entre les entités chinoises et le siège social français. Pour cela, nous utilisons des données qualitatives composées d'entretiens ouverts et semi-ouverts, d’observations participatives, et d’observations des pratiques et des usages logiciels. Notre recherche s’appuie sur deux études empiriques. A - Une étude de cas longitudinale de quatre ans (2006-2010) analyse l’utilisation du PGI mondial d’une multinationale française déployé dans ses filiales chinoises. B - Un projet de recherche-action d'un an (2010-2011) présente le suivi d’un programme d'actions correctives visant à formaliser ou non ces pratiques. Ces deux études constituent la base empirique des trois papiers de recherche qui structurent notre thèse, respectivement intitulés : . I- “Enterprise systems in use: From global control to local enacted workarounds” . II- “A canonical action research project of ERP in use: From French HQ to the formalization of Chinese workarounds”. III- “A theory-free framework : An alternative born from a difficult journey to put ‘theory’ into an empirical dataset”. L’étude des usages et pratiques des utilisateurs chinois a révélé de nombreux conflits entre les processus institutionnalisés et standardisés, retranscrits dans le PGI mondial de la multinationale, et les besoins locaux des entités chinoises. L’uniformisation des processus à l’échelle mondiale ne s’est donc pas déroulée comme cela était initialement prévu par le siège social français. Face à cette situation, notre thèse examine les logiques et les effets de ce non-alignementThis dissertation explores the mechanisms of global information systems (IS) diffusion and adoption of a French multinational corporation (MNC) within Chinese settings. By using an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system as exemplar, it aims to explain why and how users of remote subsidiaries enact the system in different ways than the prescribed approach suggested by the headquarters. This study also measures the impacts of these local informal and unexpected practices on the global ERP system. It is based on a four-year (2006-2010) longitudinal case study and one-year action research project both realized at French headquarters and Chinese subsidiaries of an MNC. Research methods rely on interpretive qualitative methods and combine participative observation, interviews and documentary evidence. Along with an introductory chapter, the dissertation comprises three related papers. The first paper provides a longitudinal account detailing the emergence of local workarounds at Chinese subsidiaries of the MNC. It discusses how the development and quest for these alternative practices was justified as indispensable and appropriate to respond to the local needs as the formal structure laid out by the headquarters was not sufficient to cover the local situation. The second paper is based on a one-year canonical action research study which took place after the longitudinal study. It first studies the impacts of these informal practices on the overall ERP system and second, relates a corrective program launched to attempt to formalise these practices. The third paper is the outcome of my PhD reflections on the application of theoretical framework(s) to empirical studies. As an outcome from the difficulties experienced during this research journey to find a perfect “fit” between a complex and rich organizational dataset and existing theories that might be seen as highly abstract, or too conceptual to interpret empirical findings, this paper suggests a disciplined approach to adopt a theory-free framework to enable the development of original and rich interpretations without bounded theoretical frameworks. The contributions of the dissertation are threefold: theoretical, methodological and practitioner oriented. First, by focusing at a micro-level perspective, activity theory provides a rich framework to understand the emergence of local work practices. The third paper also suggests important theoretical contributions since it provides an empirical demonstration of the difficulties encountered to find a “perfect fit” while applying social and organizational lenses to empirical datasets. Given these difficulties, I suggest the development of a theory-free and disciplined approach as a potential alternative in circumstances where there is theory-data misfit. Second, this dissertation proposes an original combination of two research methods that complement each other to deliver a rich empirical account of IS practice negotiation where conflicting local and global interests existed. Thanks to a long-term access to the company, I have been able to observe and collect thick descriptions of user work practices in a longitudinal case study. Following this in-depth inquiry, I led an action-research program, first to examine the degree of diffusion of these informal practices across Chinese subsidiaries and then to formalize them when appropriate. Lastly, the dissertation offers to practice a better understanding of the ways remote users might develop informal structures to make an information system fit. In particular, it relates a complete history from global template instructions to local practice negotiations and provides data collected both at the headquarters and at Chinese subsidiaries

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le rôle des capacités dynamiques dans le processus d’internationalisation des entreprises chinoises depuis l’entrée de la Chine dans l’Organisation mondiale du commerce en 2001 alors que ces entreprises ne disposaient pas d’avantages concurrentiels préalables clairs par rapport à leurs concurrents occidentaux. L’étude de trois multinationales chinoises – Haier Group, Huawei Technologies et TCL Corporation – est menée dans le cadre théorique des capacités dynamiques (Dynamic Capability View - DCV). Elle vise à identifier la nature et les fondations des capacités dynamiques développées par ces entreprises au cours de leur processus d’internationalisation. Ce processus est caractérisé par la combinaison d'un investissement très significatif en innovation technologique et d’une internationalisation accélérée contribuant conjointement à la création d’un avantage concurrentiel durable. Ces deux dimensions de la stratégie des entreprises bénéficient d'un fort soutien du gouvernement chinoisThis thesis focuses on the role of dynamic capabilities in the internationalization process of Chinese corporations since China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001, even though these companies did not have a clear prior competitive advantage over their Western competitors. The study of three Chinese multinational enterprises – the Haier Group, Huawei Technologies and TCL Corporation – is conducted in the framework of the Dynamic-Capability View (DCV). It aims at identifying the nature and the foundations of the dynamic capabilities developed by these corporations during the internationalization process.This process is characterized by the combination of a significant investment in technological innovation and an accelerated internationalization, jointly contributing to creating and sustaining of competitive advantage. These two elements of the corporate strategies benefit from the strong support of the Chinese government

Full textAbstract:
Depuis le début de la réforme économique à la fin des années 1970, le gouvernement chinois a encouragé les entreprises et les investissements étrangers à participer au développement du pays. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la plupart des multinationales ont connu une croissance rapide dans diverses industries, elles ont aussi beaucoup bénéficié de la croissance économique du pays et en même temps acquis de plus en plus d'expérience, dans le cadre d'opportunités offertes par de nouvelles politiques. Bien qu'il y ait eu quelques exceptions, plus de 400 sociétés appartenant à la liste du magazine Fortune 500 ont implanté leurs activités en Chine et la plupart d'entre elles ont l'intention d'accroître leur investissement. La convergence des nombreuses entreprises multinationales implantées en Chine nous offre une chance unique d'examiner la capacité d'adaptation stratégique des filiales des multinationales en Chine, censée être à l'origine d'implications stratégiques pour les prises de décision de la direction Cette thèse examine les antécédents et les conséquences du changement stratégique en Chine à Shanghai entre 1996 et 2007. Dans la période du dixième plan quinquennal, l'économie chinoise s'est développée rapidement, la stratégie des entreprises multinationales a évolué en conséquence. Le montant brut des IDE des entreprises multinationales en Chine a augmenté chaque année. C'est plus particulièrement évident pour Shanghai. Beaucoup de multinationales ont augmenté leurs investissements de manière importante. Le gouvernement chinois considère aussi que les IDE sont très importants. La stratégie des entreprises multinationales a subi un changement majeur dans cet environnement concurrentiel. La thèse introduit tout d'abord sujet de recherche, les implications, les idées principales de recherche et les méthodes de recherche. Puis, dans la partie 1, nous analysons les résultats obtenus par les chercheurs chinois et étrangers, et nous illustrons l'histoire de la littérature sur les EMN et les activités des entreprises multinationales, et nous décrivons ensuite la littérature sur la gestion stratégique. La partie 2 analyse les stratégies d'investissement des entreprises multinationales en Chine et le développement de la politique d'investissement de la Chine pour les IDE, puis décrit le contexte de l'ajustement concernant les stratégies d'investissement des multinationales en Chine. La partie 3 est une recherche empirique, et la thèse tente de construire un modèle à un niveau macroéconomique afin d'étudier l'adaptation stratégique des investissements des multinationales à Shanghai. La partie 3 est la partie la plus importante. La thèse analyse l'ajustement des investissements des multinationales à Shanghai sur la base d'une étude empirique, elle met en avant les conclusions de l'étude sur l'ajustement des investissements des multinationales à Shanghai selon des perspectives différentes. Enfin, nous démontrons les effets contraignants de différentes politiques et nous avançons plusieurs propositions concernant l'ajustement des stratégies des entreprises multinationales. La principale innovation est la recherche empirique concernant l'ajustement de la stratégie d'investissement des multinationales à Shanghai à partir d'une base statistique et économétriqueSince the commencing of the economic reform in late 1970s, Chinese government has encouraged foreign investment and companies to participate in the country’s development. In the past two decades, most MNCs have experienced rapid growth in various industries, benefited a lot from the country's economic growth and meanwhile gained more and more experience as new policies created such opportunities, while there were also some cases exceptional. More than 400 of the Fortune 500 have extended their business into China and most of them have the intention to increase the investment. The convergence of numerous MNCs operating in China presents us a unique chance to examine the strategic adaptation ability of the MNCs' subsidiaries in China, which is supposed to provide certain strategic implications for managerial decision. This dissertation will examine the antecedents and consequences of strategic change in China Shanghai between 1996 and 2007. In the tenth Five-year Plan period, China's economy developed quickly, MNES strategy changed accordingly. The gross sum of FDI of MNEs in China yearly enlarged. Especially in Shanghai, it's more obvious. Many MNEs increased investment by a large margin. Chinese Government also sees FDI as a dominant importance. The MNES' strategy had undergone a major change in its competitive environment. The thesis firstly introduces research subject, implications, research main ideas and research methods. Then, in part 1, we analyze research findings achieved by foreign and Chinese scholars, and especially illustrate the history of MNEs and literature on MNEs activities, and then describe the literatures on the strategic management. Part 2 analyzes the investment strategies of MNEs in China and the development of China’s investment policy concerning the FDI, and then describes the background of the adjustment concerning the investment strategies of MNEs in China. Part 3 is an empirical research, and the thesis tries to build up a model on a macroeconomic level to study the investment strategy adjustment of MNES in Shanghai. Part 3 is the most important part. The thesis analyzes the investment adjustment of MNES in Shanghai based on the empirical analysis, and puts forward the conclusions of the study on the investment adjustment of MNES in Shanghai in different perspectives. At last, we demonstrate the obligating effects of different policies and put forward many proposals concerning the strategies adjustment of MNES. The main innovation idea is the empirical research concerning the investment strategy adjustment of MNES in Shanghai on a statistical and econometric basis

Ces dernières années, les fusions et acquisitions transfrontalières réalisées par les entreprises chinoises en Europe et en Amérique du Nord se sont développées et ont attiré l’attention des chercheurs. Cependant, il existe peu de recherches se concentrant sur leurs motivations, leur performance et leurs déterminants. Ainsi, l’objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser les opérations annoncées ou réalisées en Europe et en Amérique du Nord entre 2002 et 2012, afin de (1) comprendre les motivations des entreprises en croissance, (2) de déterminer si ces opérations créent de la valeur pour les actionnaires et (3) d’identifier les déterminants de la création/destruction de valeur. Pour ce faire, nous avons utilisé trois méthodes : (1) l’analyse des déclarations d’acquisitions faites par les entreprises chinoises, (2) le calcul de rendements anormaux (AAR, ACAR, CAR) via plusieurs études d’évènements, (3) l’élaboration d’un modèle d’identification des déterminants de la création/destruction de valeur. Les opérations analysées ont été réalisées par des entreprises cotées aux bourses de Shanghai, Shenzhen et Hongkong. Des données supplémentaires ont été tirées de la base de données « Zephyr ». Au total, 93 opérations ont été analysées. Les résultats confirment les résultats antérieurement identifiés pour les acquéreurs occidentaux, étendant ainsi les théories des F&A aux opérateurs chinois. Malgré la différence de structure de propriété (contrôle par l’Etat), les FMN chinoises ont un niveau de performance comparable à leurs homologues occidentaux privés lorsqu’elles réalisent des opérations de F&AIn recent years, the cross-border mergers and acquisitions by Chinese companies in Europe and North America are developing and have attracted the attention of researchers. However, there is few research focusing on their motivations, their performance and their determinants. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to analyze the transactions announced or completed in Europe and North America between 2002 and 2012, (1) to understand the motivations of growing companies, (2) to know whether these operations create value for shareholders and (3) to identify the determinants of the creation / destruction of value.To do this, we used three methods: (1) analysis of acquisitions statements made by Chinese companies, (2) the calculation of abnormal returns (AAR ACAR CAR) via several events studies (3) development of a model to identify the determinants of the creation / destruction of value. The operations were made by Chinese listed companies in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong stock exchanges. Additional data were obtained from the database "Zephyr." A total 93 operations were analyzed. The results confirm the previously identified results for western acquirers. Despite the difference in ownership structure (state control), Chinese MNCs have a level of performance comparable to their private western counterparts when they carry out operations of M & A

Full textAbstract:
Intellectual property rights (IPR) have become a major problem in the relationship between the industrialized West and the developing South, primarily because the West demands that developing countries adopt and enforce Western IPR. Since the relationship between US corporations and Chinese businesses is among the most successful and at the center of the current process of globalization, IPR have been a major cause of conflict and controversy between them and serve as an exemplar for this thesis. I argue, first, that the reason that a large number of Chinese businesses, especially
privately-owned small and medium-sized enterprises, infringe foreign IPR lies in the
nature of the difference between what have been mostly low-tech traditional Chinese
businesses and high-tech industrial economies, to which intellectual property laws belong. Second, I demonstrate that the steady improvement of intellectual property protection in the more successful areas of development in the Chinese economy suggests
that the solution for improved IPR protection in China and perhaps other emerging nations will follow, not precede, the development and transformation of a low-tech pre-industrial economy into an industrial high-tech economy.
