A review of research on outward foreign direct investment from emerging countries, including China: what do we know, how do we know and where should we be heading? (2018, methodology): “Similarly, Wang et al. (2012b) used a large firmlevel data-set, to show the distinctive institutional and industrial environments in China which facilitate OFDI by Chinese firms.”
Internationalization and innovation performance of emerging market enterprises: The role of host-country institutional development (2016, background): “Emerging market enterprises (EMEs) are increasingly venturing into foreign countries (Buckley et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2012a; Wang et al., 2012b).”
In search of strategic assets through cross-border merger and acquisitions: Evidence from Chinese multinational enterprises in developed economies (2016, background): “As recognised by Zahra and George (2002) in their reconceptualization of the construct of absorptive capacity, it is through these routines and processes that firms acquire, assimilate, transform and exploit knowledge to produce a new set of strategic assets.”
Cross-border mergers and acquisitions by emerging market firms: A comparative investigation (2015, background): “With an increasing importance of EMFs in international investment (Deng, 2012; UNCTAD, 2014; Wang et al., 2012), this study focuses on major determinants of cross-border M&As from emerging economies in different destinations in the resource dependence logic of M&As (or simply the M&A logic).”

Expanding to outward foreign direct investment or not? A multi-dimensional analysis of entry mode transformation of Chinese private exporting firms (2014, background): “…in the economy and the fundamental change of institutions (Buckley et al., 2008; Child & Rodrigues, 2005; Deng, 2007, 2009; Lu et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2009), they generally assume that institutional environments are homogenous within a country and overlook…”
Home country institutions and the internationalization of state owned enterprises: A cross-country analysis (2016, background): “Improved governance institutions thus will lead the strategies of SOEs and private firms to become increasingly alike (Chen & Young, 2010; Wang et al, 2012a).”
