Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Emerging‐market multinational enterprises (MNEs) often lack conventional competitive advantages (high knowledge bases, stable currencies, industry concentrations of foreign direct investment) and, thus, should be disadvantaged in competing globally. A protective environment, however, may help develop firm‐specific advantages in countries with deficiencies in human capital, and market and technological resources. We demonstrate how four such companies from South Africa progressed from their domestic base to become successful MNEs. Contrary to expectations, international expansion of MNEs from less competitive economies may be driven more by the transfer of intangible knowledge across national boundaries than by exporting finished goods. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
