In 16 essays, researchers from China, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe examine the globalization process of Chinese firms. They consider industrial innovation; transportation
costs as a barrier to globalization; China’s foreign direct investment, including across the US, foreign direct investment productivity in China, the government’s role, and barriers in
hinterland areas; global optimal values of enterprise cluster fitness for Chinese firms; an African perspective on the globalization of Chinese business practices; the risk and return of
mezzanine debt; the consumer’s role; human resources strategy and practices in multinational companies; economic globalization and regional economic integration; corporate information
disclosure internalities in China’s stock market; the home-country employment effect of transnational corporations’ foreign direct investment in China; the empirical link between innovation,
learning, and performance in Chinese international joint ventures; and reconciling different models of business in the transfer of production technology into China’s export-led economy.
