“…Similarly, Feils and Rahman (2011) revealed that after regional integration exists an increase in IFDI into neighboring countries. On the other hand, Jin, García, & Salomon (2018) observed that IFDI affects more innovative firms than straggling ones. Table 4 lists some of the notable recent papers on IFDI, their principal conceptual arguments and findings, and empirical approaches.…”

Despite the significance attached to foreign direct investment (FDI) by Multinational enterprises (MNEs), there are is no comprehensive review of the FDI literature. Moreover, those that have been published, focus on subsets of FDI. This review systematically examines the empirical as well as theoretical research on FDI through an analysis of 500 articles published during the last five decades. Theoretical models, methods, context, and contributions to scholarship were reviewed. We strive to highlight the key theories, paradigms, and articles and provide directions for future research. We conclude that FDI has evolved as the most significant area of international business.

Implementing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in international business

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Building on the concept of externalities, we propose an explanation of how multinationals can contribute to the enactment of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as part of their ordinary investments. First, we suggest grouping the 17 Sustainable Development Goals into six categories based on whether they increase positive externalities -knowledge, wealth, or health -or reduce negative externalities -the overuse of natural resources, harm to social cohesion, or overconsumption. Second, we propose placing these categories within an extended value chain to facilitate their implementation. Third, we argue that multinationals' internal investments in host-country subsidiaries to improve their competitiveness contribute to addressing externalities in host-country communities, while external investments in host communities to solve underdevelopment generate competitiveness externalities on host-country subsidiaries.

“…The overall crowd-in effect can be explained in the literature. Foreign direct investment is known to promote knowledge, technology transfer, exports expansion, product and process innovation (Djulius, 2017;Jawaid et al, 2016;Jin et al, 2019;Mohanty & Sethi, 2019;Schneider & Wacker, 2020;Viglioni & Calegario, 2020). Whilst employees could share knowledge on the job, labour mobility within the food manufacturing sector (from MNEs to domestic firms), would also lead to knowledge diffusion.…”

Background: Whilst the literature on the complementarity and substitutability of foreign direct investment (FDI) on domestic investment (DI) is not uncommon, the facet of food manufacturing is non-existent. This paper fills this void by investigating the effect of FDI on DI in the food manufacturing sector for developing, economies in transition and developed countries. Methods: Using an unbalanced panel data of 49 countries from 1993 to 2016, from FAOSTAT, estimated by the system generalised method of moments (GMM), the Wald statistics for the short and long-run effects of FDI on DI were computed for the development groups. Results: Developed economies experienced a crowd-out effect of FDI on DI in the short run, whilst the others experienced no significant effect. In the case of the long run, food manufacturing sectors of all three development groups exhibited a crowd-out effect. The effect in the long run for all development groups together is a crowd-in. Analysing all country groups together could mask the results of the various country groups. Conclusions: A review of investment policies to priorities FDI entry mode that favour domestic investment is needed. Improvement of the investment regulatory and administrative efficiency among others are recommended.
