Abstract

Emerging Markets have recently been attracting increasing attention in investors’ minds as the post financial meltdown of 2008 and the series of Euro crises have been casting a deep shadow of gloom and uncertainty on the economic performance of the developed economies. Specifically, two important issues are associated with the internationalization of Asian market enterprises (AMEs), namely free-flow of investment at ease of exchange norms and the recent global financial crisis. In addition, availability of free-cash-flows and limited expansion of local markets are the other major factors that push many AMEs to choose internationalization as a growth strategy. Thus, all the papers are original contributions in this special issue and it is our view that they will lead to better understanding of the implications of managing global strategy from a cross section of Asian companies and a richer understanding of the theoretical issues in global strategic management.
