Making the most of FDI for development: “New” industrial policy and FDI deepening for industrial upgrading

Abstract: This article examines the theoretical and empirical links between a new generation of industrial policy, which is rapidly emerging as a dominant paradigm in development economics, and foreign direct investment. It finds that thus far, the theoretical role of FDI in "new" industrial policy has been vague, despite openness to FDI being one of the characteristics which sets it apart from an 'old' generation of industrial policy which advocated protectionism. Based on primary and secondary research, the article ar… Show more

“…Finally, if HCMs seek to promote OFDI, as well as potentially inward FDI (Buzdugan & Tüselmann, 2018), as a means to enhance domestic companies' competitiveness by enabling them to tap into resources abroad that are not available at home (Ibeh, 2018), policymakers and managers need to be aware of the challenges that operating across multiple sites will create within one organization (Whitley, 2010b). Integrating and coordinating activities that are geographically dispersed, to create and sustain competencies within a single organization, an MNE, is likely to pose significant organizational and managerial challenges (Gilmore, Andersson & Memar, 2018;Narula, 2014;Rugman & Verbeke, 1993;Whitley, 2005b).…”

“…A main take-away from this investigation is that policy makers need a good understanding of the organizational systems used in internationalization processes within TNCs. These systems enable them to deliver good performance and to contribute to overall TNC objectives, competitiveness and performance (Gilmore, Andersson and Nemar, 2008;Buzdugan and Tüselmann, 2018). Good performance by subsidiaries encourages TNCs to expand and develop in host locations and good intra-organizational network relationships enhance the innovation activities of TNCs in host locations.…”

“…Source: compiled by the author based on data [7][8][9][10][11] There are two directions of development of the company with the use of the costs of specific benefits, which is contained in R & D. In the first direction, there is an increase and profit recording relative to the cost of technological equipment, while the other shows the growth and dependence of TNCs on these investments..…”

“…In addition, researchers note the stimulation of R & D diversification within the corporation, as technological attachment leads to the spread of knowledge from one product to another. The flow of technological innovation, especially in rapidly changing industries, ultimately determines the growth rate at the firm level [7,[9][10][11]. The lack of constant and systematic replenishment of technological knowledge, based on investment in R & D, will significantly limit the growth of the corporation, even in spite of the existence of other specific competitive opportunities.…”
