摘要:
Can Dunning's OLI (Ownership, Location, Internalization) framework be used to predict the best performing international entry modes or merely the most commonly selected modes? Using from German and Dutch firms investing in Central and Eastern Europe, we investigate the relationship between Dunning's OLI variables, entry mode selection and managerial satisfaction with firm performance. We found empirical support for Dunning's framework as both a descriptive and a normative model.
