Foreign Direct Investment: Firm and Host Country Strategies

This book gathers together thirteen articles that deal with the internationalization strategies of firms, effects of foreign investment on host countries and host country policies vis-a-vis foreign multinationals. It illustrates how the behaviour of multinational firms and their effects on the host country are likely to differ between countries in a systematic manner, depending on the host country’s economic policies and market conditions and provides a new approach on how to look at multinational firms.
