Abstract:	This study aims to extend the springboard view by exploring the dynamic nature of the springboard process and contextualizing it from a strategic angle. To accomplish this, we investigate cross-border strategic asset acquisitions by ten Chinese multinational enterprises over eight years. Four distinct springboard trajectories from four initial strategy types to three post-springboard types are revealed. By putting strategic assets into the context of strategic intent and path-breaking change, we shed light on their critical role in building emerging market multinational enterprises globally. Specifically, we reveal a common value-adding asset-bundling mechanism that contains three progressive and additive asset-bundling processes across the cases. Furthermore, we extend the current strategy typology of emerging market multinational enterprises and discuss the specific ownership advantages and disadvantages associated with each strategy type.
