Informazioni sul libro
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) studies have evolved as one of the mainstreams in business strategy. This book presents a comprehensive perspective on the motivations behind the studies, the effects of FDI, and how it can be utilized and extended to other areas of studies. Written with a global perspective, this book not only touches upon business strategies but also covers government policies toward promoting and attracting FDI for industrial and economic development. The author, with his vast experience in consulting and research projects for multinational companies, international organizations and governments, examines real world business practices of Eastern firms and how they relate to their Western counterparts, thus making this book a valuable and practical reference not only for students, but for practitioners, too.

Key Features:
- Unlike conventional FDI theories that focus on acquiring strategic advantages, this book emphasizes to look into both advantages and disadvantages, to expand our view on FDI motivations beyond advantage-seeking
- FDI studies were done mostly with one-firm based perspective, while this book examines the ecosystem of firms for FDI targets by improving imbalances in firm and industry value chains
- Whereas FDI effects were mainly analysed concerning economic and regional development, this book suggests that FDI can be a driver for social development as well
