Handbook

The focus of this course is to explore and understand the rise of Asian multinational enterprises, and the institutional and policy mechanisms that support them.  We will use theoretical frameworks to explore the nature and source of competitive advantage of latecomer firms, internationalisation processes, and the role of global value chains in catch-up in a dynamic global context. Using your critical analysis and problem-solving skills we will assess practical tools and processes that multinationals from Asia use to navigate dynamic institutional changes in the region. Through case analysis, you will explore how enterprises learn and manage to overcome institutional voids for rapid internationalisation. On a practical level, you will gain analytical skills to evaluate real world scenarios in your professional life and take effective decisions to achieve objectives and solve problems.
