The Internationalization of Chinese State-Owned Enterprises: What Challenges Do They Face?

  • Chapter
International Business

Part of the book series: The Academy of International Business ((AIB))

Abstract

Outward foreign direct investment (ODI) from emerging economies (EEs) in general, and from China in particular, has increased substantially. China took fifth place in generating global FDI outflows with USD 48 billion in 2009 (WIR, 2010). An increasing research effort has been devoted to examining issues related to Chinese MNEs. Previous research has mainly focused on the motivations and location choices of outward FDI by Chinese firms at both country and firm levels, and the factors influencing internationalization decision-making. Yet, less attention has been paid to factors challenging or even endangering the internationalization process of these latecomers in the global market.
