Abstract

While the literature has generated impressive insights on why emerging market multinationals enterprises (EMNEs) select certain foreign locations over others, we still lack an understanding of how the home country institutional weakness affects EMNEs' foreign location choices and the mechanisms through which EMNEs overcome this effect. In this study, we investigate how the home country institutional weakness affects EMNEs' foreign location choices and how EMNEs can use home country nonmarket political strategy to address their liability of foreignness. We argue that EMNEs struggle with home country institutional weakness that are carried over in host countries and create barriers for EMNEs to enter developed or markets more institutionally distant from their home country. Thus, EMNEs are more likely to choose institutionally similar countries as their foreign direct investment (FDI) targets to help them offset the additional liability they carry. Thus, the nonmarket political strategy can serve as a response to address barriers and help EMNEs reach developed markets and those more distant from their home country institutions. On the other hand, the findings show limitations of the strategy to completely moderates the effects of home country institutional weakness on EMNEs’ foreign location choices.

母国制度和非市场政治战略对新兴市场企业国外区位选择的影响
尽管文献对新兴市场跨国企业(EMNEs)为何选择某些国外区位而非其他区位提出了令人印象深刻的见解,但我们仍然缺乏对母国制度缺陷如何影响新兴市场跨国企业国外区位选择以及新兴市场跨国企业克服这种影响的机制的了解。在本研究中,我们探讨了母国的制度缺陷如何影响新兴市场企业的国外区位选择,以及新兴市场企业如何利用母国的非市场政治策略来解决其对外责任。我们认为,新兴市场企业与母国的制度性弱点作斗争,这些弱点会在东道国延续,并为新兴市场企业进入发达国家或与母国制度性距离更远的市场制造障碍。因此,新兴市场企业更倾向于选择制度相似的国家作为其外国直接投资(FDI)目标,以帮助他们抵消所承担的额外责任。因此,非市场政治战略可以作为消除障碍的一种对策,帮助新兴市场企业进入发达市场和那些与其母国制度距离较远的市场。另一方面,研究结果表明,该战略在完全缓和母国制度薄弱对新兴市场企业国外区位选择的影响方面存在局限性。
