Essays On Emerging Multinational Enterprises' Acquisitions In Developed Economies, Faisal R. Harahap
Essays On Emerging Multinational Enterprises' Acquisitions In Developed Economies, Faisal R. Harahap
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation investigates emerging multinational enterprises (EMNEs)’s acquisitions of firms in developed economies (DE) through three distinctive but interrelated essays. Despite costs EMNEs must offset from the obvious cultural distance (CD) they encounter with limited exploitable advantages, EMNEs have continued to aggressively acquire firms in DE, suggesting there are ways for the EMNEs to effectively overcome CD.

At the core of the DSCM is the process of collective learning and adaptive …
