The Emerging Market Multinationals Report (EMR)series, produced by Cornell University, delves into this issue and its broader implications on the global economy. The EMR 2018, by Drs Lourdes Casanova and Anne Miroux, looks at how eMNCs – led by Chinese firms - are continuing their ascension as active global acquirers and pursuers of further brand and product market differentiation. In the report, the authors also examine the implications of the drastic changes in the global economy in the past eighteen months, and explore the growing soft power of emerging economies as illustrated by the launch of initiatives such as the Chinese Belt and Road.en-USEmerging MarketsChinaBrazilIndiaKoreaEmerging MultinationalsMergers and AcquisitionForeign Direct InvestmentOutward Foreign Direct InvestmentEmerging Markets InstituteEMIreporthttps://doi.org/10.7298/29yb-6p17
