Overview

This year’s conference welcomes all papers related to the broad conference theme, but particularly those related to innovation and global knowledge flows.

Multinational companies from emerging economies (EMNCs) are becoming major players in the globalized world economy and wield growing influence on economic dynamics in developed, emerging, and developing countries alike. Firms and governments in developed countries increasingly need to engage with the array of challenges and opportunities presented by emerging-economy multinationals seeking access to their markets and assets. Important impacts of outward direct investment from emerging economies (OFDI) will also be felt in developing host countries, where investments from emerging economies are becoming more and more significant. No less important will be the effects in the home countries of the outward investing firms themselves. The rise of outward investment from emerging and developing countries requires further scrutiny, both theoretically, empirically and methodologically.

While all papers related to the conference theme are welcome, this year’s conference particularly solicits papers with a focus on innovation-related aspects of outward investment from emerging economies, whether at micro, meso or macro level. Which roles are OFDI coming to play in the innovation processes of EMNCs, at strategic and operational levels? What are the implications for incumbents in developed countries, e.g. in terms of competitive and collaborative dynamics? What are the macroeconomic implications of asset-seeking investments, for both host and home economies?


Topics

The emergence of MNCs from emerging economies raises a wide range of challenges for theorists, business strategists, and policymakers alike. This year’s conference promotes ‘innovation’ as a special theme.
