Research

My research interests lie in the sub-discipline ofinternational business and strategy focusing specifically on (1) firms internationalisation and their post-internationalisationstrategic adaptiveness in emerging economies; (2) how foreign firms’ practices through bothmarket and non-market strategies such as international human resourcemanagement, and corporate social responsibility activities affect local firmsin emerging economies; and (3) how technology and knowledge transfer can support business operations and the internationalisation of firms from developing/emerging countries. I examine these issues in small and medium-sizedenterprises and multinational enterprises, particularly in contexts of weak institutions.
