Abstract：Despite the growing interest in the emerging-economy multinational enterprise (EMNE), there is little knowledge about the underlying mechanism for EMNEs as latecomers to catch up with and even leapfrog the traditional MNEs as early-movers. The cross-fertilization between the research streams on disruptive innovation (DI) and the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) provides a great opportunity to shed light on the key issue. To take advantage of this “missed” opportunity, I integrate the two reframed constructs of DI and BOP and also develop a typology of four ideal-typical innovations toward a theory of latecomer innovation as a special DI by EMNE at BOP to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the trajectories of catching up and leapfrogging. Built upon latecomer innovation, EMNEs at BOP can emerge as the most disruptive challengers to the MNE incumbents at TOP. The implications of reframed constructs, integrative typology, and emerging theory for research and practice are also discussed.

Peter Ping Li教授简介：
Peter Ping Li (PhD, 1991, George Washington University, USA) is Professor of Chinese Business Studies at Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, and the Visiting Professor of Management at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, China. Before joining CBS, he was Professor of Management at California State University. His academic interest lies in developing theories around the central issues relevant across the broad field of management theories. In particular, his primary effort focuses on reexamining the extant Western theories from the cultural and historical frames of  China and East Asia, especially applying the Chinese frame of Yin-Yang Balance against the either/ or logic in the West as well as the Yin-Yang Method of Case Study to the development of holistic, dynamic and duality theories. His current projects include the meta-theory of the firm, transaction value theory, learning-based view of multinational enterprise, multi-national enterprise as institutional entrepreneur, disruptive innovation at the bottom of the pyramid, intercultural trust, inter-firm trust, rigor-relevance duality, exploration-exploitation duality, competition-cooperation duality, character-competence duality, and indigenous research on Chinese management. He has been widely recognized as one of the leading scholars in the research on transaction value theory, multinational enterprises from the emerging economies, indigenous research on Chinese management, and organizational trust.
