Abstract
This study extends the notion of comparative ownership advantage by proposing a more dynamic perspective in the context of internationalization. Based on the case of Chinese mining firms, the relative ability of state-owned enterprises vs. non-stated-owned enterprises to access critical resources is compared and assessed as a function of institutionally induced strategic opportunities and decisions in both the domestic and international sphere. Findings suggest a dialectic view on the potential competitive benefits of initial institutional disadvantages. This study informs research on the firm-institution nexus and develops a more nuanced understanding of resource-seeking internationalization decisions.
