As a consequence, recent years have witnessed an increasing growth in the number of papers focusing on Chinese companies ＂going global.＂ This paper reviews 112 empirical papers focusing on Chinese OFDI that were published in major scholarly journals between 2002 and 2014. We report on individual and institutional contributions, citations, the theories and methods used and the research topics. We also identify the research gaps and discuss the implications of our literature review for future theory building.展开更多
