“…The results are mostly insensitive to manufacturing and non-manufacturing industry distinction. These findings are in line with Uğurlu (2016) and Kaya and Erden (2008) affirming that FDI is more likely for firms that have high exports, are larger in size, R&D intensive and efficient in terms of asset utilization.…”

“…Among these few studies that analyzes the determinants of outward FDI, most rely on macro-level reasoning to account for the FDI flows (Kayam and Hisarcıklılar, 2009;Kok and Ersoy, 2009;Yaprak and Karademir, 2011;Aybar, 2016). Moreover, some studies investigate the entry mode and location choice determinants of Turkish firms' outward direct investments through questionnaires conducted and/or factor analysis (Kaya and Erden, 2008;Anıl et al, 2011;Kaya, 2014;Gubbi and Sular, 2015;Uray et al, 2015). The macro-level studies examine the determinants of outward FDI by bilateral trade, economic stability, productivity, gross domestic product per capita for both the source and destination countries, the distance between them and population and find that Turkish outward investments are mainly market oriented.…”

The aim of this paper is to examine whether or not the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) differ in terms of inflows and outflows at firm level for publicly traded companies in Turkey just before witnessing 2008 global economic slowdown. A multinomial probit regression is used to analyze the determinants of inward, outward and both inward and outward FDI behavior of firms simultaneously. Findings suggest that the probability of a firm to engage in FDI activity increases with firm size, age and advertising intensity and decreases with liquidity. The higher the market share of FDI receivers in sectoral output, the more likely a firm will engage in FDI activity through spillover effects. Additionally, the probability to engage in outward FDI increases with financial constraints whereas the probability to receive inward FDI increases with profitability and decreases with capital intensity. The higher the R&D intensity, the more likely a firm is to engage in both types of FDI activity simultaneously. The results are mostly insensitive to manufacturing and non-manufacturing industry distinction.

“…Green capabilities are the key independent variables in this paper. Kaya and Erden (2008) defined capability as the collection of complex individual skills, assets and knowledge that enable a firm to plan its activities and resources to achieve its objectives. Five main capabilities, namely, manufacturing, finance, innovation, intraorganisational and integration, were found to be the most frequently used constructs from 1992 to 2015 based on the extensive review of previous studies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the green-purchasing capabilities required to ensure the successful implementation of green-purchasing practices under the forces of institutional pressure. Specifically, this paper explores the green-purchasing capabilities of buyer firms under the influence of institutional pressures in supplier selection, development, collaboration and evaluation in support of environmental purchasing. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaire survey method was used to gather data from 163 ISO 14001-certified manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Partial least squares was used for hypotheses testing. Findings Green-purchasing capabilities, such as manufacturing, financial, intraorganisational and integration capabilities, have a significant positive effects on green-purchasing practices. However, innovation capabilities have no significant effect on green-purchasing practices. Regulation, customer and competitor pressure positively moderate the relationships between green manufacturing capabilities and practices. Practical implications The paper highlights the importance of green-purchasing capabilities in enhancing the green-purchasing practices of firms. The findings that pertain to moderating effect could be used to assist policy makers, particularly in setting appropriate policies and strategies to improve green purchasing. Originality/value Although more studies on green purchasing have been conducted in recent years, issues, such as the effect of green-purchasing capabilities on green-purchasing practices, are still unspecified. Besides, this study considers institutional pressure as the moderator when a model is constructed to exemplify the relationship between green-purchasing capabilities and practices.

“…Similarly, Indian IT firms also possessed managerial and labor low-cost advantages (Narayanan and Bhat 2011) which acted as their ownership advantages. For Turkish firms, such ownership advantages have been identified as operation-related, product-related, marketing-related and management-related competitive advantages (Kaya and Erden 2008).…”

This study analyzes macroeconomic and institutional factors of the host countries in attracting outwards foreign direct investment (OFDI) from Malaysia. Results show that primary motives behind Malaysian OFDI are to seek growing markets and natural resources. Foreign economy's depreciating currency with respect to Ringgit Malaysia, lower private sector lending rate, shorter geographical distance from Malaysia and government accountability are also important pull factors. Malaysian OFDI is significantly low in ASEAN Member States (AMS) and in the developed states. Policy implications thus include generation of higher OFDI towards AMS given the strategic importance of ASEAN Economic Community and in developed regions to access foreign technology.
