Abstract: EMNEs face significant spillovers of regulatory legitimacy in the process of internationalization, but this phenomenon needs to be further studied. Combined with studies on corporate political strategy, this paper tries to answer what kind of regulatory legitimacy spillovers is facing EMNEs and how EMNEs deal with them. Based on analysis on Huawei, we find out that: (1) EMNEs are mainly facing positive and negative regulatory legitimacy spillovers from home country, third countries and also regulatory organizations; (2) EMNEs can benefit more from positive spillovers by using bridging and networking strategies and suffer less from negative spillovers by using buffering and isolating strategies. This study deepens our understanding on the heterogeneity of legitimacy spillovers and on EMNEs’ political strategies.
