• Emerging Market Multinational

Yue’s current research interests lie in understanding institutional impact on  strategic decisions and operations of outward direct investors (ODI) from emerging markets (EM) (mainly China). In her research, institutional issues are considered at various levels (organisation, industry, region and nation).

Her interest originates from questions such as: How do institutional factors (macro) and organisational factors (micro) interact and how the interaction shape strategic behaviours and performance of EM firms in their global integration and competition processes. She promotes research that captures institutional complexities, changes, and embeddedness in relation to strategic initiations, investment patterns and performance of EM enterprises.

Yue believes that the fast development of ODI from EMs provides an appropriate lens for developing institutional theories. She is committed to research taking into account industry-specific issues. Her research covers industries such as telecommunication, pharmaceutical, financial service, airline, automotive, and oil and gas industries. She has been working on topics with the following themes:

• ODI and trade relation
• ODI, innovation, and institution
• ODI, bargaining power model, and institutional change
• ODI, network position, and competitiveness
• ODI, intellectual property, and institutional enforcement
• ODI, prospect theory, and risk-taking behaviour
• ODI, corporate governance, and risk-taking behaviour

Yue would welcome approaches from potential PhD students and researchers with similar interests.
