E-grāmata: Corporate Links And Foreign Direct Investment In Asia And The Pacific

Corporate Links and Foreign Direct Investment in Asia and the Pacific examines the impact of investment on trade in East Asia and the Pacific. Foreign direct investment has been growing at 14-15 per cent per annum in Southeast Asia and China over the last decade and has been a major force in East Asia's remarkable economic growth and industrial transformation.
This book complements material on sectoral flows of foreign direct investment among the Asia-Pacific economies by focusing on microeconomic issues of strategy, activity and behaviour of corporate investors in the region. It explores the role of corporate alliances and networks of Japanese and Chinese firms, as well as the role of investors from newly industrialising economies, in the relocation of production and trade within the region.
