DESCRIPTION:Dr Huaichun Rui from Royal Holloway\, University of London\, i
 s going to introduce her research work about emerging Chinese multinationa
 l enterprises (MNEs).  "We study the process by which developing country f
 irms are able to upgrade their technological capabilities to international
  levels despite the weak system of innovation of their home countries. Bui
 lding on the case study of the Chinese telecommunication equipment manufac
 turer Huawei\, we identify and explain four stages of increasingly sophist
 icated technological capabilities (reengineering\, replacing\, refining\, 
 and recreating)\, identify the transition across stage\, and explore the i
 n-depth determinates of the technology upgrading."\n\nHuaichuan Rui receiv
