Operating in the home country provides firms with substantial experience and learning opportunities. Emerging market economies provide a rich context in terms of diversity of sub-national institutions, competitors, consumers, and business networks. Operating in such context enables EMNEs to experience and learn about developed and underdeveloped institutions, building relationships with firms within and outside of their networks, customers with diverse income levels, tastes and preferences, and competition from firms with multiple ownership groups. The experience and learning that EMNEs gain from such diversity in their home environments assist them in their international expansion. Focusing on the pre-internationalization stage, we identify different aspects of home country diversity that facilitates EMNE internationalization. Additionally, we discuss the firm-specific contingencies that enable or restrict learning from home environments.

在母国运营为公司提供了丰富的经验和学习机会。新兴市场经济体为地方政府机构，竞争对手，消费者和商业网络的多样性提供了丰富的环境。在这样的背景下运作使EMNE能够体验和了解发达和欠发达的机构，与网络内外的公司建立关系，拥有不同收入水平，喜好和偏好的客户以及来自拥有多个所有权集团的公司的竞争。EMNEs从其家庭环境中的这种多样性中获得的经验和教训有助于他们进行国际扩张。着眼于国际化之前的阶段，我们确定了促进EMNE国际化的母国多样性的不同方面。另外，
