Research

My research interests lie in the sub-discipline of international business and strategy focusing specifically on (1) firms internationalisation and their post-internationalisation strategic adaptiveness in emerging economies; (2)  how foreign firms’ practices through both market and non-market strategies such as international human resource management, and corporate social responsibility activities affect local firms in 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-sized enterprises and multinational enterprises, particularly in contexts of weak institutions.
