ABSTRACT
Since the 21st century Chinese firms have started at a grate pace of expanding their business abroad. This has aroused worldwide speculation and tension. By reporting on qualitative research conducted at Huawei Technologies Ltd., this paper analyses Huawei’s corporate profile and its internationalisation strategies employed as a latecomer firm. The key issues examined in this paper are: to what extent does Huawei not follow the traditional internationalisation theory, its core competences and its challenges in operating in developed markets.
