“…This method was chosen over other techniques due to the categorical and inherent nature of the dependent variable. Similar research on TMNEs and DTFs likewise used binary logistic regression with a characterization of company types as the dependent variable (Demirbag et al, 2009(Demirbag et al, , 2013(Demirbag et al, , 2016Mellahi et al, 2013;Tatoglu et al, 2003). For this, the binary logistic regression models can be expressed as follows:…”

PurposeThis paper contributes insights into how different firm types in the emerging market (EM) of Turkey respond to upgrading pressures in terms of internationalization and the usage of domestic political support. It seeks to highlight how the usage of and the responses to different strategies, connections and policy instruments vary with firm types.Design/methodology/approachBinary logistic regression analysis is used to differentiate and identify characteristics of firms regarding market-seeking strategies and their usage of institutional and financial support. The analysis is based on survey data from firms located in the metro-region of Istanbul: advanced market multinational enterprises (AMNEs), Turkish MNEs (TMNEs) and domestic Turkish firms (DTFs).FindingsDifferent types of firms within the population of innovative firms in the EM setting of Turkey show significant variety regarding the usage of and the responses to key factors affecting internationalization. AMNEs particularly benefit from investment and export incentives as well as from establishing political connections in Turkey. DTFs significantly use tax incentives and primarily seek advanced markets. TMNEs particularly benefit from investment and export incentives and prefer to target advanced markets.Research limitations/implicationsUsing Turkey as a single-country setting is a limitation to the generalizability of the results. Future studies could use more cases of AMNEs to compare different countries of origin. In addition, the intended focus on R&D-related firms produces specific outcomes for such companies.Practical implicationsNational and regional policies need to pursue different strategies for the surveyed groups of firms to attract and maintain foreign direct investments (FDIs) of AMNEs as well as to support outward FDIs of domestic firms and EM MNEs. In particular, policies for market entries and knowledge sourcing in advanced markets are becoming a crucial factor for EM firms in overcoming a shortage of resources at home.Originality/valueThis paper’s findings challenge existing theories such as the concept of psychic distance or liabilities of foreignness, which do not always provide an adequate explanation for internationalization activities of EM firms. In addition, it is highly relevant to apply an eclectic or multidimensional concept when conducting research in EMs in order to capture the interrelated constructs of upgrading, internationalization and political support.

Executive SummaryPartners' resources are an important conceptual dimension of joint ventures (JVs), which may further expand our existing knowledge of determinants of equity control and partners' influence on JV strategy. This article builds on prior research by providing a comprehensive account of partners' resources in JVs and their impact on both ownership composition and partners' relative influence on JV strategy. Our findings provide relatively strong support to the resource-based explanation of strategic alliances in emerging markets and indicate the further utility of a knowledgemanagement perspective.
