Abstract

This study examines how home country institutions and legitimacy challenges affect Chinese high-tech multinational enterprises' (MNEs) liability of foreignness (LOF), with technology asset-seeking motivation as a moderating factor. Drawing on institutional theory and the springboard perspective, we analyze three key mechanisms: (1) home country institutional support, (2) legitimacy acquisition processes, and (3) technology-seeking strategies that mitigate LOF.
