Klaus Meyer's current research focuses on strategies of multinational enterprises in emerging economies. I am in particular interested in how firms adapt their business strategies to the specific conditions prevailing in each emerging economy. I have thus investigated foreign investor's choice of entry mode and foreign acquisitions in transition economies. My research also extends to the impact of foreign investors on the economic transition and development of the host economies, for instance in the context of privatization related acquisitions. Another stream of research focuses on the global strategies that may bring multinational enterprises into emerging economies in the first place. |
