Abstract

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) from emerging markets1 are new and very dynamic actors on the global scene. Among them, Indian MNEs have actively contributed to this scene: since the liberalization process that started in the 1990s, a growing number of firms have been able to acquire frontier technologies from Western and Japanese MNEs, often through innovation-oriented joint ventures (JVs) and alliances, and, subsequently, to grow internationally, building multinational networks. In a previous work, we analyzed the evolution of the Indian automotive industry, from a highly protected industry in the 1980s, through the liberalization process of the 1990s, to the new competitive arena of the early 2000s, with special reference to inward and outward foreign direct investment (IFDI and OFDI) flows, multinational alliances, the processes of technology transfer and acquisition, and the impact of trade and industrial policies (Balcet and Bruschieri 2008).
