“…In China, Malaysia, and Thailand, hard drive manufacturers such as Seagate only made 100% control investments, mainly to prevent new technology leakage and minimize company coordination problems (McKendrick, Donner, & Haggard, 2000). Kim (2016) focused on the impacts of FDI in the Gaesong Industrial Complex special economic zone in North Korea. The research showed a certain benefi t of FDI, especially through the creation of new jobs, but the study did not confi rm other benefi ts in the form of an increase in overall productivity, mainly because of the high isolation of the economic zone.…”

Multinational enterprises play a significant role in the global economy. Their activities can have positive impacts on host countries as these companies tend to bring new capital, technology, and knowledge. Nevertheless, negative effects linked to their presence occur as well. Most studies focus on the overall impact of FDI on economic growth. In this paper, we go beyond this relationship and examine the literature describing specifically the indirect impacts of the activities of multinational corporations on host economies, the so-called spillover effects. We highlight the most relevant studies on this topic. Spillover effects occur both across and within industries and can significantly increase the productivity of domestic companies. The magnitude of these impacts is, however, significantly dependent on the level of development of the host economy and the absorptive capacity of local companies.

“…In perspective of Politics, Gopalan, Hattari and Rajan (2016) showed that FDI wound only be concentrated in free and open market. On the contrary, Gaeseong Industrial Complex in North Korea (the most centralized country) attracts and retains extensive TCs' FDI (Kim, 2016). Lacking FDI's antecedents and existing inconsistency of research conclusions demonstrate that we need a more systematic and comprehensive evaluation system for mechanism of FDI variations (the entry and exit of FDI).…”

The economic benefits and spillover effects from FDI could lead accelerating the innovation of local economy and technological concept, which make it welcome in underdeveloped countries' authorities. This paper focuses on the entry and exit mechanism of FDI in 31 provinces of China from 2001 to 2016. The optimized diamond model associated with multi-theoretical cooperation is adopted to set up the regional competitiveness configuration for attracting FDI. It revealed that FDI attempts to enter regions with certain economic basis and favorable government conditions; but if the market fluctuates, even if there are favorable policy conditions, FDI will restructure because of their profit-seeking. Based on the conclusions, local governments can use the minimum resources to attract FDI in appropriate circumstances, and can optimize policies in time when it is not suitable for the entry and maintenance of FDI, so as to focus on develop local markets.
