My research interests are about internationalization of business particularly from the perspective of joint disciplinary research between business history and international business strategy, including organizational structure, such as inter-organisational collaboration, an example being my research about unintended termination of international joint ventures, government–business relationships, such as my research about how MNCs can build trust with the local government and how local government institutional structure would influence international business transaction costs, and parent-subsidiary relationships, such as my research about post-acquisition integration.
