    Sammanfattning : As latecomers to the world economy, emerging-market multinational corporations (EMNCs) often use international expansion as a ‘springboard’ for seeking and accessing advanced knowledge from overseas, particularly from advanced markets, with the goal of offsetting their competitive weaknesses and catching up with their Western counterparts. This behavior is conceptualized as the springboard perspective formulated by Luo and Tung (2007). LÄS MER

In this perspective, the discovery of infinitely many conserved charges, i.e. LÄS MER
