CfP: 4th Copenhagen Conference on Outward Investment from Emerging Economies


The 4th Copenhagen Conference on:

 

‘Emerging Multinationals’:
Outward Investment from Emerging Economies

 

http://sf.cbs.dk/ofdi/conferences

 

 

Date: 9-10 October 2014

 

Venue: Copenhagen Business School, Denmark



Overview

This year’s conference welcomes all papers related to the broad conference theme of outward investment from emerging economies. In addition, the conference particularly invites papers related to home country effects.

 

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.

 

All papers related to the broad conference theme are welcome. In addition, this year’s conference particularly solicits papers with a focus on home country-related aspects of outward investment from emerging economies. There are significant opportunities for improving our understanding of how home country environments affect processes and outcomes that drive EMNCs, and thus to advance theories of the multinational enterprise. Consequently, we invite empirical and theoretical work addressing these complex relationships between various forms of home country environmental heterogeneities and EMNCs.


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 ‘home country effects’ as a special but not exclusive theme.
