TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the usefulness of the internationalization process model (IPM), also known as the Uppsala model, to explain the recent strategies of emerging economy MNEs.
Abstract: The rapid emergence of multinational enterprises (MNEs) from emerging economies calls for a re-assessment of established theories of the MNE. We assess the usefulness of the internationalization process model (IPM), also known as the Uppsala model, to explain the recent strategies of emerging economy MNEs. We argue that popular stages models derived from the IPM are not helpful, but the underlying process of experiential learning driving steps of increased commitment is an important element in explaining the evolution of these MNEs over time. Focusing on the role of acquisitions within internationalization processes, we illustrate our arguments with six case studies of Thai MNEs. On this basis, we discuss how the IPM can inform future research on emerging economy MNEs. Specifically, the IPM suggests focusing on the internal and external factors that may induce firms to accelerate their cycle of international learning and commitment, in particular the roles of networks, acquisitions, human resources, big step commitments, the home country institutional environment, and possible managerial biases.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of increasing outflow of personnel abroad, the brain drain, as well as the ability to benefit from transnational education while also maintaining a national character remain key issues.
Abstract: Directly motivated by the open-door policy, economic reforms and challenges from globalization and worldwide competition, as well as efforts to realize massification of higher education since 1978, the internationalization of higher education in China has experienced a change from activities concerning traditional outflows of international scholars, faculty members, and students before 1992 to those relating to trans-national higher education and internationalization of curricula. During the process, academic patterns from Europe, Asia, and the Pacific region as well as from America have significantly affected Chinese higher education. Internationalization has never been a one-way process; rather it comprises attempts to realize mutual communication or exchange, largely oriented and regulated by the government. The problem of increasing outflow of personnel abroad, the “brain drain,” as well as the ability to benefit from transnational education while also maintaininga national character remain key issues...
