Abstract
There is as yet limited empirical research on the internationalization processes, strategies and operations of Asian MNEs. Drawing on primary data from 12 case studies of emerging Taiwanese and Singaporean MNEs in the textile and electronics industries, this paper examines and analyses their internationalization characteristics and strategies, including motivations, patterns and sources of competitive advantage. The findings indicate that the emerging Taiwanese and Singaporean MNEs, while exhibiting characteristics such as that described in extant theories also suggest some differences. The empirical findings, limitations and areas for further research are discussed.
