What Is FDI? ØForeign direct investment (FDI) occurs when a firm invests directly in new facilities to produce and/or market in a foreign country Øthe firm becomes a multinational enterprise 

ØFDI can be in the form of Øgreenfield investments ­ the establishment of a wholly new operation in a foreign country Øacquisitions or mergers with existing firms in the foreign country

8­4 

What Is FDI? ØThe flow of FDI ­ the amount of FDI undertaken over a given time period ØOutflows of FDI are the flows of FDI out of a country ØInflows of FDI are the flows of FDI into a country 

ØThe stock of FDI ­ the total accumulated value of foreign­owned assets at a given time

Page 5: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­5 

What Are The Patterns Of FDI? ØBoth the flow and stock of FDI have increased over the last 30 years ØMost FDI is still targeted towards developed nations ØUnited States, Japan, and the EU 

Øbut, other destinations are emerging ØSouth, East, and South East Asia especially China ØLatin America

8­6 

What Are The Patterns Of FDI? FDI Outflows 1982­2010 ($ billions)

Page 7: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­7 

What Are The Patterns Of FDI? FDI Inflows by Region 1995­2010 ($ billion)

Page 8: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­8 

What Are The Patterns Of FDI? Ø  The growth of FDI is a result of 

1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 

2.  political and economic changes Ø deregulation, privatization, fewer restrictions on FDI 

3.  new bilateral investment treaties Ø designed to facilitate investment 

4.  the globalization of the world economy Ø many companies now view the world as their market 

Ø need to be closer to their customers

Page 9: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­9 

What Are The Patterns Of FDI? ØGross fixed capital formation ­ the total amount of capital invested in factories, stores, office buildings, and the like Øthe greater the capital investment in an economy, the more favorable its future prospects are likely to be 

ØSo, FDI is an important source of capital investment and a determinant of the future growth rate of an economy

Page 10: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­10 

What Are The Patterns Of FDI? Inward FDI as a % of Gross Fixed Capital Formation 1992­2008

Page 11: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­11 

What Is The Source Of FDI? ØSince World War II, the U.S. has been the largest source country for FDI Øthe United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Japan are other important source countries Øtogether, these countries account for 60% of all FDI outflows from 1998­2010

Page 12: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­12 

What Is The Source Of FDI? Cumulative FDI Outflows 1998­2010 ($ billions)

8­13 

Why Do Firms Choose Acquisition Versus Greenfield Investments? 

ØMost cross­border investment is in the form of mergers and acquisitions rather than greenfield investments Øbetween 40­80% of all FDI inflows per annum from 1998 to 2009 were in the form of mergers and acquisitions Øbut in developing countries two­thirds of FDI is greenfield investment Øfewer target companies

Page 14: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­14 

Why Do Firms Choose Acquisition Versus Greenfield Investments? 

ØFirms prefer to acquire existing assets because Ømergers and acquisitions are quicker to execute than greenfield investments Øit is easier and perhaps less risky for a firm to acquire desired assets than build them from the ground up Øfirms believe that they can increase the efficiency of an acquired unit by transferring capital, technology, or management skills

Page 15: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­15 

Why Choose FDI? Ø  Question: Why does FDI occur instead of 

exporting or licensing? 1.  Exporting ­ producing goods at home 

and then shipping them to the receiving country for sale Ø  exports can be limited by transportation 

costs and trade barriers Ø  FDI may be a response to actual or 

threatened trade barriers such as import tariffs or quotas

Page 16: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­16 

Why Choose FDI? 2.  Licensing ­ granting a foreign entity the right to 

produce and sell the firm’s product in return for a royalty fee on every unit that the foreign entity sells 

Ø  Internalization theory (aka market imperfections theory) ­ compared to FDI licensing is less attractive Ø  firm could give away valuable technological know­ 

how to a potential foreign competitor Ø  does not give a firm the control over manufacturing, 

marketing, and strategy in the foreign country Ø  the firm’s competitive advantage may be based on 

its management, marketing, and manufacturing capabilities

Page 17: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­17 

What Is The Pattern Of FDI? ØQuestion: Why do firms in the same industry undertake FDI at about the same time and the same locations? ØKnickerbocker ­ FDI flows are a reflection of strategic rivalry between firms in the global marketplace Ømultipoint competition ­when two or more enterprises encounter each other in different regional markets, national markets, or industries 

ØVernon ­ firms undertake FDI at particular stages in the life cycle of a product

Page 18: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­18 

What Is The Pattern Of FDI? ØQuestion: But, why is it profitable for firms to undertake FDI rather than continuing to export from home base, or licensing a foreign firm? ØDunning’s eclectic paradigm ­ it is important to consider Ø location­specific advantages ­ that arise from using resource endowments or assets that are tied to a particular location and that a firm finds valuable to combine with its own unique assets Øexternalities ­ knowledge spillovers that occur when companies in the same industry locate in the same area

Page 19: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­19 

What Are The Theoretical Approaches To FDI? 

ØThe radical view ­ the MNE is an instrument of imperialist domination and a tool for exploiting host countries to the exclusive benefit of their capitalist­imperialist home countries Ø in retreat almost everywhere 

ØThe free market view ­ international production should be distributed among countries according to the theory of comparative advantage Øembraced by advanced and developing nations including the United States and Britain, but no country has adopted it in its purest form

Page 20: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­20 

What Are The Theoretical Approaches To FDI? 

ØPragmatic nationalism ­ FDI has both benefits (inflows of capital, technology, skills and jobs) and costs (repatriation of profits to the home country and a negative balance of payments effect) ØFDI should be allowed only if the benefits outweigh the costs 

ØRecently, there has been a strong shift toward the free market stance creating Øa surge in FDI worldwide Øan increase in the volume of FDI in countries with newly liberalized regimes

Page 21: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­21 

How Does FDI Benefit The Host Country? 

Ø  There are four main benefits of inward FDI for a host country 

1.  Resource transfer effects ­ FDI brings capital, technology, and management resources 

2.  Employment effects ­ FDI can bring jobs

Page 22: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­22 

How Does FDI Benefit The Host Country? 

3.  Balance of payments effects ­ FDI can help a country to achieve a current account surplus 

4.  Effects on competition and economic growth ­ greenfield investments increase the level of competition in a market, driving down prices and improving the welfare of consumers Ø  can lead to increased productivity growth, product 

and process innovation, and greater economic growth

Page 23: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­23 

What Are The Costs Of FDI To The Host Country? 

Ø  Inward FDI has three main costs: 1.  Adverse effects of FDI on competition 

within the host nation Ø  subsidiaries of foreign MNEs may have 

greater economic power than indigenous competitors because they may be part of a larger international organization

Page 24: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­24 

What Are The Costs Of FDI To The Host Country? 

2.  Adverse effects on the balance of payments Ø  when a foreign subsidiary imports a substantial 

number of its inputs from abroad, there is a debit on the current account of the host country’s balance of payments 

3.  Perceived loss of national sovereignty and autonomy Ø  decisions that affect the host country will be made 

by a foreign parent that has no real commitment to the host country, and over which the host country’s government has no real control

Page 25: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­25 

How Does FDI Benefit The Home Country? 

Ø  The benefits of FDI for the home country include 

1.  The effect on the capital account of the home country’s balance of payments from the inward flow of foreign earnings 

2.  The employment effects that arise from outward FDI 

3.  The gains from learning valuable skills from foreign markets that can subsequently be transferred back to the home country

Page 26: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­26 

What Are The Costs Of FDI To The Home Country? 

1.  The home country’s balance of payments can suffer Ø  from the initial capital outflow required to 

finance the FDI Ø  if the purpose of the FDI is to serve the home 

market from a low cost labor location Ø  if the FDI is a substitute for direct exports

Page 27: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­27 

What Are The Costs Of FDI To The Home Country? 

2.  Employment may also be negatively affected if the FDI is a substitute for domestic production 

Ø  But, international trade theory suggests that home country concerns about the negative economic effects of offshore production (FDI undertaken to serve the home market) may not be valid Ø  may stimulate economic growth and employment in 

the home country by freeing resources to specialize in activities where the home country has a comparative advantage

Page 28: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­28 

How Does Government Influence FDI? 

ØGovernments can encourage outward FDI Øgovernment­backed insurance programs to cover major types of foreign investment risk 

ØGovernments can restrict outward FDI Ølimit capital outflows, manipulate tax rules, or outright prohibit FDI

Page 29: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­29 

How Does Government Influence FDI? 

ØGovernments can encourage inward FDI Øoffer incentives to foreign firms to invest in their countries Øgain from the resource­transfer and employment effects of FDI, and capture FDI away from other potential host countries 

ØGovernments can restrict inward FDI Øuse ownership restraints and performance requirements

8­30 

How Do International Institutions Influence FDI? 

ØUntil the 1990s, there was no consistent involvement by multinational institutions in the governing of FDI ØToday, the World Trade Organization is changing this by trying to establish a universal set of rules designed to promote the liberalization of FDI

Page 31: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­31 

What Does FDI Mean For Managers? 

ØManagers need to consider what trade theory implies about FDI, and the link between government policy and FDI ØThe direction of FDI can be explained through the location­specific advantages argument associated with John Dunning Øhowever, it does not explain why FDI is preferable to exporting or licensing, must consider internalization theory

What Does FDI Mean For Managers? 

A Decision Framework

Page 33: Investmentnationalparalegal.edu/Slides_New/International_Business/... · 2018. 12. 3. · 1. a fear of protectionism Ø want to circumvent trade barriers 2. political and economic

8­33 

What Does FDI Mean For Managers? 

ØA host government’s attitude toward FDI is important in decisions about where to locate foreign production facilities and where to make a foreign direct investment Øfirms have the most bargaining power when the host government values what the firm has to offer, when the firm has multiple comparable alternatives, and when the firm has a long time to complete negotiations
