Abstract

This study explores the impact of market-seeking internationalization activities of emerging market firms, including exporting, being a supplier to foreign MNEs at home, and market-seeking foreign direct investment (FDI) on digital transformation. We use a mixed-method approach, combining multi-case studies and regression analysis, to test our hypotheses. The results show that market-seeking FDI directly relates to digital transformation while exporting and industry linkages with foreign MNEs lead to digital transformation through dynamic capabilities. Our findings highlight that emerging market firms' capability enhancement through internationalization is not only about acquiring foreign assets but also about the endogenous growth path of learning by doing.
