The evolution of multinational firms from Asia: A longitudinal study of Taiwan’s Acer Group

Abstract

Despite their growing proliferation and significance, multinational enterprises (MNEs) from the developing countries have not received adequate attention. To close the gap, this paper seeks to answer a fundamental question: what is the evolutionary pattern of the MNEs from the developing countries? To address the above question, this paper focuses on a longitudinal case study of a successful multinational firm from a developing country in Asia. Both theoretical and practical implications of the case are discussed.
