“…Yet, in constructing their specifically designed dependent variable of Chinese FDI (using company annual reports), they clearly state that they include "any overseas investment." 60 Investment-holding companies in Hong Kong (or elsewhere) fall into this category, as well as SPEs dressed up as "service" companies or other businesses. Furthermore, Hong Kong must have been one of the host countries included in their count data, as they note that the 59 countries they include accounted for 80 per cent of total outward investment in the 2006-08 period (as reported by MOFCOM).…”

“…They were not legitimate in China until the opening up in the late 1970s and were not allowed to invest overseas until 2003. The strategic behaviour of POEs differs from that of non-5 POEs (Lin, 2010;Ramasamy, Yeung & Laforet, 2012;Rui & Yip, 2008). POEs are increasingly operating in a free market environment and are more likely to be influenced by market forces and to be commercially motivated (Liu et al, 2008;Ramasamy et al, 2012).…”

This research examines the factors determining whether or not exporting firms expand to outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) as part of their internationalisation strategy, using a recent survey of Chinese private-owned enterprises. We carry out a multidimensional analysis to investigate the impact of firm productivity, internal resources and the external environment on OFDI decisions, including both the decision to undertake OFDI and the volume of OFDI flows. It is found that productivity, technology-based capability, export experience, industry entry barriers, subnational institutions and intermediary institutional support affect firms' OFDI decisions. The findings have important policy and managerial implications.Key words: OFDI, Chinese private-owned enterprises, productivity, heterogeneity theory, the integrated 'strategic tripod' framework. 1 We are grateful for the valuable comments and suggestions of three referees. 2 We thank one of the referees for suggesting the term 'entry mode transformation'.

“…Instead, power and dominance goals can be in the forefront, and may be reflected in SOEMNEs target markets based on foreign policy priorities, rather than country-specific advantages certain markets provide to foreign investors. This is quite visible in the case of Chinese firms [Ramaswamy, Yeung, Laforet, 2012]. Internationalization ambitions reflecting non-economic priorities can also be fostered by higher SOE resilience to risk, insofar as government funding, resources, and use of political influence to shape regulatory frameworks can reduce the risk otherwise associated with international business operations.…”

Internationalization by State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) and Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) after the 2008 Crisis. Looking for Generalizations

This paper seeks to detect (post) crisis tendencies in the international activities of state-owned enterprises (SOE) and sovereign wealth funds (SWF) and identify the main challenges posed in exploring this topic. In doing so it draws on the inductive approach and qualitative method and discusses available studies on recent internalization trends in SOEs and SWFs. The number of SWFs worldwide has been rising since 2008, despite the 2008 crisis which brought heavy losses and negative publicity that caused a rerouting of funds towards domestic purposes. The long-term perspective adopted by SWFs is expected to make less vulnerable to financial market volatility, which should stimulate FDI. SOTNCs are a minority among SOEs in general, i.e. only a fraction of SOEs worldwide can be labeled as state-owned transnational companies; and no exceptional impact of the 2008 crisis is apparent in their functioning The review of selected literature and UNCTAD survey reports is the basis for our conclusions and suggestions for future research avenues.
