“…Similarly, Etienne B. Yehoue (2009) improvement elsewhere. Therefore, the spillovers of outward FDI could play a positive role in a third country through the intermediate inputs exported by the foreign affiliates, in which case outward FDI may have effects on the GVC participation of the other countries.…”

This study delves into the effects of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) on global value chain (GVC) participation from 2000 to 2014. The utilization of traditional panel models, the spatial Durbin model (SDM), and the threshold model provides a comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneous spillover effects of outward FDI. The results show that increased outward FDI not only facilitates the GVC participation of parent countries but also has a profound impact on that of other countries. The spillover effects of outward FDI play a vital role in the GVC participation of low total factor productivity (TFP) countries. However, for developed countries with high TFP levels, outward FDI has positive impacts on deep GVC participation while not influencing shallow participation. These findings serve as an extension to the relevant theories and suggest a way for developing countries to capture gains from outward FDI and participate further in GVCs.

“…Given the uneven distribution of FDI within both countries and regions (Yehoue, 2009), it is recognised that the benefits and costs to local SMEs may vary considerably from area to area (Hu, 2007). There are no official measures of FDI at the local level available in the UK (Billington, 1999), although one-off cross-sectional analysis have been produced for regions (Hill & Munday, 1991).…”

The impact of foreign influence on exporting through open innovation

Foreign direct investment brings both increased competitive pressures and opportunities for domestic Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Competition may force them to seek new international markets, but also provide access to international customers. However, as economies become more knowledge‐based in order to access international markets, SMEs must seek to innovate. This study examines how foreign firm presence and innovation influence the exporting activities of SMEs. It contributes to the existing literature by dividing innovation into product/process innovation and in‐house/open innovation. With open innovation, products are more likely to be novel and productivity boosted to a larger degree. We interact different types of innovation with foreign influence to examine whether there is a moderating influence on the relationship. The individual firm level data and foreign influence data are from the Longitudinal Small Business Survey and Office for National Statistics. Whether firms are active exporters is explored using multilevel logit regressions. Both innovative activities and the foreign influence increase the likelihood of exporting. In‐house product innovation boosts export propensity to a lesser degree in areas with higher levels of foreign influence. The hypothesis that open innovation has more impact on exporting activities when foreign influence is greater is not supported for either type of innovation.

“…Scholarly literature, as well as the popular press, have attributed numerous benefits to clusters [Enright, 2000;Porter, 2000;Sölvell 2003;Andersson 2004;Yehoue, 2005;Mindelfart -Knarvik, Overman, Venables, 2001;Audretsch 2000;Belderbos, Carree 2002;Brakman, Garretsen, van Marrewijk 2001;Duranton, Puga 2003;Guimaraes, Figueiredo, Woodward 2000;Head, Ries, Swenson 1995;Keeble, Wilkinson 2000;Krugman 1994;Maskell, Kebir 2005;Misala 2003;Ottaviano, Thisse 2004;Overman, Redding, Venables 2001;Puga, Venables 1995;Siebert 2000). From this body of published works three groups of factors relevant to FDI attractiveness in clusters can be distinguished.…”

“…A model by E.B. Yehoue offers a formal, mathematic way of presenting sensu stricte clusters as a policy tool for attracting FDI [Yehoue, 2005]. Referring to agglomeration economies, Yehoue argues that a cluster can increase return on investment and, thus, firm profits, increasing tolerance for distortions to a greater degree than if there wasn't any cluster in place.…”

“…Nachum and Wymbs [2005] claimed that the very homogenous culture of a cluster makes it more hermetic (airtight) and less accessible for foreigners discouraging them from the cluster. This is particularly true for FDIs originating in culturally -distant countries, which increases the difficulty of integrating in the cluster and taking an active part in the local collective learning that determine the benefits of a cluster's location [Yehoue, 2005].…”

The aim of the paper is to assess whether, and in what fashion, managers of Polish cluster organizations perceive the attractiveness of foreign direct investment in Polish clusters This research is exploratory and qualitative in nature. The complex nature of Polish clusters, which can benefit from and be competitively challenged by, FDI are identified and a conceptual framework for assessing that nature is proposed; specifically, research using the grounded theory method (GTM).
