| Popis | Abstract This paper focuses on knowledge creation capability and motives for international investment by emerging-market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) innovating in emerging markets. It analyses the motives for the relatively underresearched innovation-intensive investment by non-Chinese EMNEs in Central and Eastern Europe and offers new insights to the knowledge-based view of international innovation management. Building on interviews with senior managers from 11 EMNEs from India, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Malaysia, and South Korea, this qualitative study develops, through a hybrid thematic analysis approach, a knowledge-based capability perspective on managing knowledge creation under different innovation-investment motives abroad, including knowledge seeking, market seeking, and dual motives. Knowledge creation capability includes knowledge integration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge cocreation. Both internal and external dimensions of knowledge creation capability are conceptualised, along with elements linking internal and external dimensions, namely managerial orchestration and innovation projects. The paper contributes to the knowledge-based view of firm innovation and global strategy by stressing the roles of international innovation-investment motives and organisational capabilities for creating and managing knowledge in EMNEs. It offers implications for managing subsidiaries of multinational enterprises involved in innovation in emerging markets, particularly regarding enhancing and linking the internal and external dimensions of subsidiaries’ knowledge creation capability via ambidexterity. |
