“…In reality, most MNCs are stepping up their R&D and design and development (D&D) efforts in high-tech manufacturing sectors, particularly in the machinery and E&E industries. Likely due to the manufacturing sector's efforts to increase the knowledge of highly skilled workers through learning and training programmes, the knowledge spillovers to local workers from MNCs' activities through the 'learning effect' are more significant for high-tech industries (Mohammad et al 2018;Yunus 2023). This is because skilled workers in the manufacturing sector are conceived to have better absorptive capacity.…”

This article examines the relationship between FDI and workers' absorptive capacity on knowledge spillovers by constructing an augmented human capital model based on their education and job training experience. Employing a quantile regression estimator, the model scrutinises the knowledge flow from multinational corporations (MNCs) via labour mobility spillovers. This study use Malaysian manufacturing industry data from 2000 to 2019. The results of the study revealed that the Malaysian manufacturing industry has the potential to receive more than 30% of knowledge spillovers from FDI if the level of absorptive capacity of degree and diploma-educated workers reaches the highest quantile. The locally trained workers' absorptive capacity to exploit the foreign knowledge spillovers transferred from skilled workers who have worked in MNCs is assimilated only at the 25th quantile of the conditional knowledge spillovers of FDI distributions. This study suggests creating a lucrative reward system for those who successfully transfer the technological knowledge learned while working in multinational companies to employees in local firms. In addition, largescale training institutions with comprehensive training programs need to be established at all levels of education, especially for the younger generation.

“…However, the positive effects of FDI spillover appear in the host economy after years of schooling as a control variable of absorptive capacity is factored into their model estimation. Mohammad et al (2018) examine the relationship between knowledge spillover from FDI and knowledge creation using the threshold level regression method. This study considers the level of development of information and communication technology (ICT) and English language proficiency.…”

Absorptive Capacity and Technology Spillovers: A Quantile Regression Approach

Employing a quantile regression estimator, the study presents new evidence on the role of human capital in exploiting the technology effects from foreign direct investment (FDI) in low-technology industries. A new model of human capital to capture the non-linearity of FDI effects according to employees’ educational qualifications was developed. This study examined whether workers’ absorptive capacity had different effects on FDI spillover at different points of conditional distribution. Although the study found that the ability of employees with degrees and diplomas to exploit foreign technology exceeds the median quantile, it also acknowledges the existence of both ‘over-skilled’ and ‘over-educated’ workers at a higher quantile of FDI distribution. As the problem of shortages and mismatch between skills and education for workers with degrees and diplomas still hinders firms from applying advanced technologies from FDI, this study proposes using the law to make firms work with universities. Firms could inform universities of the industry’s in-demand skills regularly and get involved in the development of the university curriculum to ensure that graduates are equipped with skills and knowledge that can be ‘transmitted’ to different industries.

PurposeThe purpose of the work is to solve the set problem and to study the competition and perspectives of division of labor of humans and machines during creation of intangible assets in Industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachThe research is performed with the help of regression and comparative analysis by building regression curves and with the help of the qualitative structural and logical analysis.FindingsThe authors perform an overview of the factors that determine the advantages and limits of participation in creation of intangible assets in Industry 4.0, determine the perspectives and compile recommendations for division of human and machine labor during creation of intangible assets in Industry 4.0.Originality/valueThe results of the performed research confirmed the general hypothesis that machine technologies allow improving the innovative, marketing and organizational and managerial activities and activities in the sphere of R&D through automatization of certain stages of the process of creation of intangible assets. The authors determine the factors that define the contribution of machine technologies in this process and their competitive advantages as compared to human intellectual capital during creation of intangible assets. These advantages prove the possibility and expedience of division of human and machine labor during creation of intangible assets.
