Lusophone-African Multinational Enterprises Internationalization Mode

Focusing on the internationalization strategies of MNEs from Lusophone Africa, particularly Angola and Mozambique, the study reveals that these enterprises predominantly favor equity-based investment strategies, such as joint ventures and mergers & acquisitions, for global entry. Additionally, some utilize e-commerce, exports, and greenfield investments. A portion of these MNEs are identified as born global or international new ventures. The research introduces a conceptual framework to analyze entry mode choices and offers insights into the unique determinants influencing these strategies in emerging markets.
