I will use the first article for define the entry strategies
The second article for see the growth option value of investments in emerging economies.
Alternative modes of entry—greenfield, acquisition, and joint venture (JV)—allow firms to overcome different kinds of market inefficiencies related to both characteristics of the resources and to the institutional context. In a weaker institutional framework, JVs are used to access many resources, but in a stronger institutional framework, JVs become less important while acquisitions can play a more important role in accessing resources that are intangible and organizationally embedded

the

are
to

by

Hypothesis
2a
(H2a):
• The
stronger

to

the
less

foreign

are
to
enter
an

(as

to

Hypothesis

• The

of
Hypothesis
2a
is
stronger
when
requiring

compared
to

Hypothesis
3a
(H3a):
• Under

the
greater

of

the
more

rather

Hypothesis
3b
(H3b):
• Under

17. First,
a
pertinent
question
for
empirical
studies
is
always
whether
the
empirical
relationships
identified
in
the
study
could
be
explained
by
different
mechanisms
than
those
proposed
by
the
authors.
A
second
concern
is
the
quality
of
proxies.
They
collected
local
data
to
get
as
close
as
possible
to
the
context
(the
focus
of
our
research),
and
thus
distinguish
ourselves
from

designs
driven
by

headquarters
perspectives.
Third,
They

also

when

bridge
the
gap
between

testing
the

central
proposition
that

• Second,
and
related,
objective
is
to
develop
a
contingency
view
of
growth
options
in
IJVs
by
examining
how
some
key
IJV
characteristics
can

affect
firms’
