讲座摘要：
Presentation 1: Advancing Theories from Research on Chinese OFDI: Practices and Direction (通过研究中国对外投资发展理论: 现状与未来)

This presentation is based on my most recent article, entitled "Chinese outward direct investment research: Theoretical integration and recommendation", which is published at Management and Organization Review (MOR), 2013, 9(3) (#1 academic journal on Chinese Management; SSCI listed, 2012 Impact Factor (IF): 2.827; 31/172 (management).

Chinese internationalization and outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in particular has become one of the most profound business phenomena that may shape the future of the global economy. By critically reviewing 138 articles published in major scholarly journals in the last twelve years (2001-2012) that focus on Chinese OFDI, I argue that research on the international expansion of Chinese firms offers a unique opportunity to extend and develop extant theorizing in four primary research streams: the latecomer perspective; Chinese state and government influences; the dynamics of firms and institutions; and the liability of foreignness. Building on the analytical results, I offer five recommendations as promising ways to open up theoretical inquiry: (1) cross-fertilization among the four research streams; (2) integration of resource- and institution-based theories with other theoretical lenses; (3) research on the process dimensions using a longitudinal approach; (4) adoption of multi-levels of analysis; and (5) consideration of the wider emerging market literature.


Presentation 2: How to Publish Research in High-Quality International Journals (如何将研究成果发表在高水平国际期刊上)?

How to convert good research projects into articles at high-quality international journals is a big challenge particularly for young scholars. Based upon my own personal academic experiences in the last ten years, largely as author, reviewer and editor, in this presentation I will outline some of the most frequently mentioned concerns and effective ways of how to address them before papers are first submitted. This presentation should be especially interesting for those faculty and scholars who are relatively new to the international academic field. Hopefully, these tips provide a useful bridge between “the big picture” provided by the research methodology courses and the reality of publishing in high-quality international journals.
