Abstract:

Purpose The study conceptualizes how firms’ strategic motives interact with the heterogeneity of host country institutional environments in determining the subsidiary ownership. The author hypothesizes and tests two interaction effects. The study found that firms with market-seeking motives are more affected by the heterogeneity of host country institutional environments, while firms with resource-seeking motives are less affected by the heterogeneity. The empirical findings are based on a sample of overseas subsidiaries reported in the annual reports of listed firms in China. Design/methodolo

While OFDI behavior in US is divided into two, namely complementary to export or substitution to export. The analysis technique used is Error Correction Model (ECM).

The results show that: China has obvious market-, and efficiency-seeking motives, but weak resource- and strategic asset-seeking motives. There is a tipping point for market- and efficiency-seeking motives. Good institutional quality of the host country (region) facilitates FDI expansion. Investment inertia and factor endowment

Motives of internationalization have been classified into three broad categories – market-seeking, opportunity-seeking, and strategic asset-seeking.

The results suggest that supportive government policies are important motivators for both strategic asset-seeking and market-seeking outward FDI. Firms' technology-based competitive advantages and a high level of industry research and development (R&D) intensity tend to motivate strategic asset-seeking outward FDI, whereas firm's export experience a

This paper explores the growth effects of both consumption- and wealth-induced social comparisons in a unified small open endogenous growth model. We analytically show that in an open economy not only do these two distinct status-seeking motives have very different growth effects, but these growth effects are also quite different from the conventional wisdom based on a closed economy. Status-seeking behavior need not favor economic growth. The asset portfolios of households and the imperfection of the international asset market both play an important role and jointly govern the growth effects

Abstract:

This article presents the results of a study about the reasons, motives and meanings associated with school choice among Chilean upper-class families. School choice has become a relevant issue in educational policy debates about marketization and privatization because it is linked to social segregation dynamics. The Chilean upper social class is an appropriate social space to study these issues since this group educates their children in a hyper-segregated set of very expensive private schools. The study followed a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews and focus groups in

Abstract:

The luxury goods market is undergoing dramatic changes due to the fact that vast numbers of new consumers are gaining access to goods previously regarded as unobtainable. As a result, luxury is losing its elitist and exclusive character. The aim of this paper is to explore the changes in luxury brand marketing and to introduce the emergence of a new branding philosophy – Mass Prestige brands. The concept of Mass Prestige brands emerged as a response to luxury losing its elitist character, and it was intended to combine elements of luxury brand values perception with mass-market strategies.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the empirical determinants of China banking sector outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) to developed and developing countries. The determinants include those drawn from extant theory on overseas investment and those deemed relevant to China’s circumstances. Adopting country-wide bank FDI data from 2000-2015, a most updated panel dataset was constructed. By relying on zero inflated model, this paper finds that the standard determinants of OFDI flows established within the western context only provides partial explanation of Chinese banking sector’s OFDI strategies an

Abstract:

Research on China?s role in the globalization of economic activity focuses mainly on its involvement in trade and on its competitiveness as a manufacturing location for foreign investors. However, since the mid-1990s China?s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) has become an important part of its integration into the global economy. This dimension is poorly understood, and few empirical studies about the drivers behind Chinese OFDI have been published thus far.

Additionally, we investigate the role of other main motivations for the investment outflows. We conduct our analysis by estimating a gravity model using the panel data on Serbi
