“…Also, the quality of Evidently, some of the results from past studies are contradictory. For instance, the impact of labour costs on FDI flows is anything but clear: The results by Schneider and Frey (1985) and Jun and Singh (1996) showed a negative impact of labour costs on FDI flows, while Wheeler and Mody (1992), Loree and Guisinger (1995) and Lipsey (1999) indicated that there might be a positive or no significant influence.…”

“…This composite index has been widely used in the international business literature (Barkema, et al, 1996;Flores & Aguilera, 2007;Lee, Shenkar, & Li, 2008;Loree & Guisinger, 1995;Meschi & Riccio, 2008;Park & Ungson, 1997;Thomas & Grosse, 2001;Tihanyi, Griffith, & Russell, 2005). Although other measures of cultural distance have been suggested (Barkema, et al, 1996;Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006;Park & Ungson, 1997;Ronen & Shenkar, 1985;Schwartz, 1994;Shenkar, 2001), Drogendijk and Slangen (2006) show that "it may be premature to dismiss Hofstede's work as outdated or as inaccurately reflecting national cultures".…”

During the recent decade, the world has witnessed the rapid growth of MNEs from emerging economies. Their increasing participation in cross-border mergers and acquisitions has raised great attention in the extant literature. This study evaluates the value creation from these cross-border transactions from two representative emerging countries, namely China and India, and determines factors that result in the different performance of these international acquisition activities. Crossborder acquisitions conducted by these countries' companies indeed lead to significant shareholder wealth creation. Furthermore, Indian shareholders are more likely to benefit from deals in small cultural distance countries, while Chinese investors gain from the cross-border expansion of manufacturing companies. Location also affects the performance of cross-border acquisitions, with acquisitions into developed countries generating higher returns to shareholders. Our sample consists of 203 Indian and 63 Chinese cross-border deals over the period 2000-2010 and our results hold after controlling for various deal-level and firm-level characteristics.

“…Examples of such studies on the internationalization of firms include the work on the determinants of FDI at the macro-level of analysis, in which for example the role of policy variables such as investment incentives, performance requirements and taxes (Loree and Guisinger, 1995;Blonigen, 2005) are highlighted. Also the role of institutional factors such as property rights and government quality (Loungani et al, 2002;Biswas, 2002); geographical, cultural, administrative and economic proximity between home and host country (Ghemawat, 2001; Van Tulder with Van der Zwart, 2006;Xu and Shenkar, 2002); agglomeration effects (Porter, 1998) have received research attention, in addition to the more traditional determinants of FDI (Nunnenkamp and Spatz, 2002).…”

This paper explores whether the internationalization trajectories -patterns over time in the level, pace, variability and temporal concentration of international expansion -of large firms from China and India are fundamentally different from those of developed country firms. A longitudinal cross-country comparative study of 256 large firms for the 1990-2004 period shows that, although internationalization trajectories of large and leading Chinese and Indian firms are indeed different, there are also considerable similarities between established developed country firms and the new firms from emerging markets, not in the least because they often interact within the same sector
