| Abstract: | This study discusses and analyses the internationalisation motivations of companies from emerging economies, one of the research subjects that has not received much attention from previous scholars. This study also expands the universality and application of an emerging internationalisation theory, known as the Springboard perspective. Springboard takes emerging-economy multinational companies as the main context of the discussion, with a perspective that goes against other famous theories, such as the Uppsala theory or the Born-Global theory. The combination of analyses from other theories with relatively complementary perspectives to Springboard is also applied, including institutional theory, resource-based theory, and Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. Based on systematic reviews of relevant theories, empirical studies, and typical case studies, this paper proposes a theoretical framework with three accompanying propositions to determine the motivations that lead emerging-economy companies (EECs) to internationalise. The theoretical framework shows that the internationalisation of EECs is affected by three groups of factors, including internal factors (inner capacity of enterprises), push factors (home market), and pull factors (host market).
