“…This is particularly relevant to EE firms as their competitive advantages are even more home-country specific, given that they rely heavily on social networks and political ties to compete (Wright, Hoskisson, Filatotchev & Peng, 2005). Unfamiliarity with global markets and environments induces uncertainties and risks further hindering EE firms' international diversification (Li & Meyer, 2009). …”

Permanent The impact of domestic diversification and top management teams on international diversification of Chinese firms ABSTRACTDespite increasing research on outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) by firms from emerging economies, our understanding of the relationship between domestic operations and international diversification of these firms is still limited. Using a unique dataset of Chinese listed firms, we examine the impact of domestic diversification on their international diversification. We find that international diversification is positively affected by firms' domestic industrial and domestic regional diversification. We also find that top management team (TMT)'s previous international experience strengthens the impact of domestic diversification on firms' international diversification, whereas TMT's prior political connections weakens the impact of domestic diversification on international diversification.

“…As illustrated above, several dimensions of context discussed in the literature (Bamberger, 2008;Johns, 2006;Li and Meyer, 2009;Rousseau and Fried, 2001;Tsui, 2007) were indeed particularly relevant for this study, including the cultural context (i.e., consumers' cultural diversity), the industry/product category context (how the phenomenon affects which sectors), the competitive and organisational context (MNE subsidiaries vs. local firms), the geographical context (the geographically unequal tourism development within the focal country and other countries), the retail context (different retail structures in tourism and non-tourism areas) and the temporal context (the extreme seasonality of tourism), lack of understanding of which may lead to omitting information-rich cases during sampling. In an effort to deal with contextual challenges and avoid a convenience-sampling logic, the study collected diverse information from multiple contexts that represented a response to emerging sampling challenges.…”

The extant methodological literature has challenged case selection in qualitative case study research for being arbitrary or relying too much on convenience logic. This paper aims to address parts of such criticism on the rigour of case selection through the presentation of a sampling framework that promotes contextualisation and thoroughness of sampling decisions in the study of international phenomena. This framework emerged from an inductive process following an actual case study project in international marketing and promotes the idea that context matters for sampling purposes, too. The proposed framework integrates methodological tools that complement the overarching principle of purposeful sampling and considers respective contextual challenges that the researchers encountered before and during fieldwork. It serves to highlight in an iterative fashion the role that context plays in the case selection process and the importance of contextualised sampling processes for qualitative case study research in international business.

“…Moreover, it can increase the upside benefits because the foreign firms can accrue their partner"s customer base. Past research also suggests that different forms of experience are best exploited by using modes of entry to undertake strategic investment if and where the investor lacks location-specific resources [45].…”
