Summary:Applying the concepts of dynamic capabilities and managerial mindsets, this chapter examines the factors affecting the internationalization outcomes of Chinese SOEs using the case study approach. Our findings show that those SOEs which inherited organizational routines under the regime of a centrally planned economy have encountered great challenges in achieving international success. Our results also suggest that dynamic capabilities and managerial mindsets are the main drivers determining the international performance of SOEs. These findings have important policy and managerial implications.
