About the event:
As the biggest trading partner of ASEAN countries\, China became a signific ant source country for FDI into ASEAN. In the end of 2022\, more than 6500 Chinese FDI firms have been set up in ASEAN and human resources localizatio n turned to be the dominant strategy adopted by the Chinese overseas firms. By building up various social networks with the government sectors\, upstr eam and downstream local firms as well as the media\, Chinese overseas firm s endeavoured to get access to their social capital\, which is defined as a variety of resources obtained by the enterprises in the process of investm ent and operation in host countries and measured by the enterprise’s social network. Dr. Bin Xiong will try to start from the micro perspective of ent erprises and use Chinese overseas enterprises survey data in nine ASEAN cou ntries to identify the impact of social capital of Chinese overseas enterpr ises\, the institutional distance between China and ASEAN on enterprises’ i mplementation of localization strategies.
