“…Esto es debido, en gran parte, a la afluencia de inversión directa extranjera (IDE) recibida los últimos veinte años (Jiang, Liping & Sharma, 2013;Lau & Bruton, 2008) por las políticas del gobierno para industrializar el país (Cheng & Kwan, 2000;Fan, 2011;Lin, 2010).…”

ResumenObjeto: El mercado chino concentra las miradas de las empresas de todo el mundo por su gran potencial de ventas. No obstante, por la complejidad del país hay que realizar la inversión con cautela. La elección de la forma de entrada es una de las decisiones más cruciales que la empresa tiene que afrontar a la hora de invertir en un país extranjero.El presente trabajo pretende, por una parte, estudiar cuál es la forma de entrada más utilizada por las empresas para invertir en este país y en base a qué factores la han elegido y, por otra, identificar cuáles han sido las barreras de entrada a las que han tenido que hacer frente.Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Para contestar a estas preguntas se realizaron entrevistas con directivos y responsables del proceso de internacionalización de quince empresas españolas de diferentes sectores económicos con inversión directa en China. Aportaciones y resultados: Como resultado, encontramos que la implantación enChina ha sido un proceso secuencial en la mayoría de casos estudiados por los siguientes motivos: falta de conocimiento del mercado, obligatoriedad de invertir con un socio local o implicación paulatina de recursos. Una vez la empresa decide establecerse permanentemente en China, la figura más empleada es la empresa propia o Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise.Barreras regulatorias y burocráticas, culturales e idiomáticas, competitivas y de riesgo de imitación, los recursos humanos y, por último, barreras informales han sido las identificadas por las empresas durante su proceso de internacionalización en el mercado chino.-223-

“…In addition, larger firms have more funds to employ better managers (Kumar, 2003). According to Lin (2010) firm's specific advantages such as brand names, external and internal economies of scale, R and D, product differentiation, proprietary management skills, and government promotion policies usually increase with firm size. Empirical studies suggest that internationalization is correlated with firm size (Kuo and Li, 2003) and therefore smaller firms are more prone to internationalization-related disadvantages and risks.…”

The study finds the impact of the percentage of total annual sales of a firm paid as informal payments to public officials (bribes) on foreign ownership of firms in Africa while controlling for other variables outside the country of origin of investment. The study used secondary data from the World Business Environment Survey conducted by the World Bank. In all 3290 firms made up of the manufacturing, services and retail sectors are included in the analysis. The Tobit and probit estimation techniques were used. The results indicate that the percentage of total annual sales of the firm paid as informal payments to the public officials has a negative and highly significant impact on foreign ownership of firms in Africa. African leaders should therefore institute policies to control corruption in order to boost foreign investors' confidence in their economies.

This paper uses data envelopment analysis and seemingly unrelated regression estimation model to examine the association between the operating efficiency of Taiwanese FDI enterprises in mainland China and the investment performance of their parent companies. We find that the more capital-intensive Taiwanese FDI enterprises in mainland China have higher operating efficiencies. Enterprises investing in East China area have lower operating efficiency. In addition, higher operating efficiencies of FDI enterprises in mainland China are associated with higher investment performance of the Taiwanese parent companies. The Taiwanese parent companies with greater investment of FDI enterprises in mainland China also have higher investment performance. The Taiwanese parent companies with higher R & D expenditure percentages do not result in improved investment performance because of a lack of spillover to FDI subsidiaries or more uncertain factors. Furthermore, the wholly-owned investment type of a parent company has greater investment performance than joint-venture investment type.
