This book was released on 2000-11-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is the largest emerging market in the world, yet Western MNCs have invested significantly less there than their Asian MNC counterparts. Luo systematically compares Western and Asian investment strategies and their performance in China and draws lessons that Westerners must heed. He compares Western and Asian MNCs on their respective economic rationales, cultural proximity, strategy behavior, investment structure, business determinants, and performance differences. He also reviews foreign direct investment in China over two decades, outlines the economic environment facing MNCs today, delineates new policies that affect foreign investment and operations, and discusses China's entry into the World Trade Organization and the impact this will have on MNCs everywhere. The result is a needed contribution to the literature on international investment and the China market, particularly for upper level executives, analysts studying emerging markets, and scholars specializing in international business and expansion. In Part I, Luo reviews the experience of MNCs in China and the opportunities and challenges, today and in coming years. In Part II he looks at the strategy, structure, and performances of Western and Asian MNCs. He assesses and compares strategic and structural behaviors of these two groups of MNCs, then deciphers and compares the differences in distinctive capabilities and their performance implications. In other chapters he examines and compares financial performance and its business determinants—thus giving executives of Western MNCs a way to verify the effectiveness of their own investment and operating strategies and to reconfigure them, if necessary, to include environmental dynamics and organizational capabilities. In addition to mini-cases throughout the book, there is an appendix consisting of six major case studies, detailing the experiences and successes of six Asian MNCs in China, offering a seldom seen glimpse of how the West's Asian competitors accomplish their own goals, and why the challenges they present to the West are so formidable.

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Multinational Corporations in China: Analysis of a Strategic Business Model Submitted by Chan Miu Sze for the degree of Master of Arts (China Development Studies) at the University of Hong Kong in June 2006 Since December 2001, China enrolled in the World Trade Organization, which has made a profound impact on the economic growth and development of China. The opening up is beneficial to China and also the rest of the World. It is because the accession has enabled a large number of multinational corporations to enter the Chinese market more easily on one hand, and on the other hand, for China, the membership has fueled its market reform. However, as China has distinctive culture and customs, which foreign firms will find it difficult to handle, together with its emphasis on guanxi, therefore the business tactics for multinational firms to apply in China should be deviated from in elsewhere. Although China has published its "internal rules" for trade and investment-related regulations in order to clarify and expand its legal system, those clarified rules are still varied by provinces. It is because provincial governments are granted certain extent of flexibility to interpret the central laws and to enact rules or regulations "according to concrete local conditions and actual needs." Due to the authoritative local government, the internal strategies are subjected to the government interferences. Therefore, firms may have to carry out guanxi-based external strategies so as to cooperate with the governments and improve operational efficiency. In this research, with the business models of successful multinational corporations in China as case studies, the external strategies for them to gain overwhelming success will be underscored. The research will be also focus on the popularity of corporate social responsibility among the multinational corporations. Lastly, significant implications concerning the external strategies of business model for firms doing business in China will be punctuated in this research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the expansion of multinational corporations (MNCs), the alarming upsurge in widely publicized and notable corporate scandals involving MNCs in emerging markets has begun to draw both academic and managerial attention to look beyond home market practices to the pressing concern of CSR in emerging markets. Previous studies on CSR have focused primarily on Western markets, reserving limited discussions in addressing the issue of MNC attitudes and CSR practices in their emerging host markets abroad. Despite this incongruity in academic response to CSR in emerging markets, managers of multinational companies continue to face mounting and oftentimes conflicting pressures to weigh among multiple strategic CSR responses in emerging markets. Such a task is often further complicated by the complexity of varying business norms and standards, regulatory environments and stakeholder demands for CSR across national boundaries. With such a challenge in mind, I attempt to examine the explanatory factors leading MNCs, otherwise recognized for accountability and integrity in their home markets, to employ inconsistent or negligent practices under CSR pressure in Chinese emerging economy. Preliminary findings reveal that discrepancies exist in how MNCs perform in CSR in home countries vs. in host countries. While MNCs do have much to improve, the institutional environment in the emerging market, including the legal framework and the ethical culture, also needs to be improved by the host country governments, the industry associations, and local firms. Meanwhile, media interest and journalists, NGOs, third party monitors, industry stakeholders as well as consumer advocacy groups can raise the visibility of MNC's contradictory practices between their origin nations and countries with emerging economies and offer the pressures and incentives for MNCs to amend their ethical shortcomings. This paper also suggests implications for both theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysing the role of multinational investors in emerging Asian economies and the implications for regional economic integration, this astute study examines the increasing role being played by Asian countries in the global economy. Encompassing a large number of diverse manufacturing and service sectors, this book highlights the cultural and strategic challenges faced by multinational investors in the region in which they invest. It shows that despite high rates of economic growth in Asian countries presenting multinational traders and investors with unparalleled market opportunities, there have been only tentative moves towards regional economic integration. Areas such as trade facilitation, uniform customs clearance, removal of non-tariff barriers and labour deployment issues are yet to be adequately addressed.
