Dear Student,

Please find below answer to your question

Abstract

If we see the recent trade in world every organization is striving hard to enter into emerging market to achive the large market scale. An emerging market is a market that has some characteristics of a developed market, but does not fully meet its standards. This includes markets that may become developed markets in the future or were in the past. As of now 24 developing countries qualify as emerging markets - including Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa.

One of the simplest ways to determine whether a market is emerging is to see whether it appears in a financial index that tracks emerging markets, such as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or the MSCI Frontier Markets Index.

Real world example that Emerging Market without ownership advantages still engage in FDI

In terms of the countries of origin, FDI outflows from developing countries are highly concentrated. The ten largest countries of origin of FDI are responsible for over 70% of the total amount of OFDI from all developing countries, being seven of the ten are from Asia.

Hong Kong and China are in the first two positions, Brazil on the 5th position, and South Africa and Mexico are at the end of the list of ten. The increase role of MNCs from developing countries is particularly due to the high growth of the internationalization of firms from Asia, mostly from China and India, but also from Russia, and some few Latin American countries, Brazil and Mexico.

Thus, the shift in the dynamic of the world OFDI is also reflected in the changes in the MNCs landscape .When in 1992, only 8% of MNCs were headquartered in developing countries, in 2008 they were 28% of a total of 82,000 MNCs worldwide.
