My Research

I study multinational enterprises' (MNEs') cycles of internationalization and how they expand globally by overcoming the challenges they face in different foreign markets. My research focuses on understanding how these companies use their organizational and managerial resources and capabilities to grow and expand their international footprint. Specifically, I'm interested in two main questions:

• How do MNEs leverage their resources and capabilities strategically during foreign market exits to accelerate re-entry processes?

• And how do they effectively address institutional challenges in host countries?

To answer these questions, I use quantitative methods and databases of financial, statistical, and market information on active and inactive global companies to examine and analyze these phenomena.
