%X The paper utilizes the perspectives of global value chain and dynamic capabilities to explore how FDI original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) implement functional upgrading to compete in China¡¯s booming market. This research first develops a conceptual framework that identifies the specific capabilities (technological, manufacturing and absorptive capabilities) and leadership style involved in the upgrading trajectory by FDI OEMs, and then employs a multiple-case study with pattern-matching analysis investigating two Singapore-invested OEMs to examine the assumed model. By collecting first-hand timely data, the results have important practical implications for FDI OEMs, as they can help these firms to grow and prosper in the Chinese market.
