“…Investment incentives are essential for European investors. However, in Japan and South Asia, cultural and geographical proximity is more important (see also He and Long 2003). Basile et al (2008) focused on the European environment and the importance of the EU cohesion policy (public intervention) in the process of space for multinational investment companies.…”

Regional unemployment and investment incentives in CzechiaThe paper aims to verify whether setting up the system of investment incentives in Czechia has determined the over-proportional location of supported jobs to regions with an over-proportional size of unemployed and thus meets the declared objectives of regional policy. Concentration analysis on the territorial level of districts and regions NUTS III of the Czechia was used to fulfil this goal. Regions according to the concentration of unemployed and supported jobs can be divided into five basic types: T1 -regions where the support is well targeted and implemented (regions with high unemployment and job support), T2 -regions with inappropriately targeted support (regions with low unemployment and high support), T3 -regions that are not eligible for support and support is realised on low level (low unemployment and low support), T4 -regions where support is lacking (high unemployment and low support), T5regions that cannot be clearly classified (their position changes significantly over time). Regional policy objectives are achieved through support realised in regions with a large amount of unemployment. Setting up a system of investment incentives in Czechia does not ensure an above-proportional direction of supported investments to regions with a larger size of unemployment and thus does not meet the declared objectives of regional policy.

“…However, other firms which appreciate the value of these risky projects may not be restrained in the same way. Consequently, collaborative arrangements in which one partner provides financial resources to another partner are common [75][76][77]. Strategic alliances are voluntary cooperative interfirm agreements for competitive advantage for the partners, that is, firms attempt to find the optimal resource boundary through which the value of their resources is better realized than through other resource combinations.…”

“…In the international arena, multinational companies may enter foreign markets by acquiring a local company, also seeking their resources, such as local facilities, knowledge, and connections, by forming strategic alliances [74]. Financial assets refer to how a business/company is financed, and monetary assets are money reserves that fill the shortage arising from the timing gap between a company's cash receipts and cash payments [75,76]. ey are provided by various speculators (shareholders, banks, and/or obligation holders) in exchange for compensation (profits, interface, and/or capital gains) [77,78].…”

The worldwide machine tool market is anticipated to reach a value of USD 68.9 billion by 2021, from USD 65.6 billion in 2020. This projection is based on the progressive production drop within the car industry, which is the largest customer of machine devices, and supply chain disruption. The machine tool industry in Taiwan faces a severe challenge and has been unobtrusively experiencing an inner reshuffling and innovative transformation. The developing strategic alliances reflect a basic endeavor by numerous firms to improve their specialized capabilities. This study applied the DEMATEL, a suitable method for gathering group knowledge to form a structural model and visualize the casual relationship between subsystems through a casual diagram, revealing that the causal relationships between measurement criteria and the proposed model can provide a viable assessment of the alliance with satisfactory criteria that fit the decision-makers requirements, especially when the assessment criteria are various and interrelated. Financial resources were the strongest factor within the strategic behavior dimension (D1), whereas the minimize manufacturing cost was the foremost basic determinant in the cost perspective (D2). The specialists also demonstrated that obtaining dominant technology was a determinative component within organizational learning (D3). This paper offers proposals for government authorities to plan a machine tools industry strategy for Taiwan and for companies to formulate business directions for long-run advancement.
