Abstract:
Purpose This paper proposes locational ambidexterity as a location-specific factor based on an operation flexibility perspective, and explores why and how multinational corporations (MNCs) proactively deal with uncertainty by valuing locational ambidexterity in making location decisions. Design/methodology/approach Location choice data for foreign direct investment (FDI) at a sub-national level in China is used to test the role of locational ambidexterity. Findings We find that FDI generally prefers locations with high ambidexterity. Moreover, investments from a heterogeneous country context are more sensitive to locational ambidexterity than those from a similar country context. However, there is no significant evidence that wholly owned investments favor locational ambidexterity more than do international joint ventures. Research limitations/implications An alternative operationalization of locational ambidexterity may be needed. Future research could explore the sources of locational ambidexterity, identify other firm- and industry-level factors that could alter the value of ambidexterity, investigate how MNCs integrate locational ambidexterity into organization-specific option creation strategies and test the ambidexterity perspective with micro-level location choice data. Practical implications Locational ambidexterity may reduce the overall risk and adjustment cost of future changes. FDI may choose a location with high ambidexterity, i.e. a balanced portfolio of location-specific determinants, under uncertainty about the future. Originality/value Drawing on the notion of location flexibility from Buckley and Casson (1998), this study identifies a new location character, locational ambidexterity, and proposes that MNCs address uncertainty by choosing ambidextrous locations that offer more flexibility for MNCs to change or respond to potential volatility. Selecting locations with high ambidexterity is thus an alternative and complement to the organization-specific flexibility creation strategies suggested by the literature on real option and flexibility.

AbstractThis study examines the factors that affect the choice of location for foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. We identify three groups of factors that may affect the location choice by foreign firms: agglomeration economies, infrastructure, and institutional changes resulting from the economic reform. The study utilizes the most recent data from China's industrial census for the empirical testing. The findings show that agglomeration economies, in particular the clustering of foreign firms and domestic firms, exert the strongest effect on FDI location. Higher FDI concentration tends to attract more foreign firms. The clustering of domestic firms exerts a negative effect on FDI locations. Better infrastructure (electricity, telecommunications, and road) and greater institutional change (open policies, privatization, and legal development) also show positive effects on FDI location. The size of the local economy does not seem to affect the choice of location of FDI.

Abstract:
This paper studies the effect of precipitation on the location of foreign direct investment (FDI) based on city-level data of China from 2003 to 2018. The results show that precipitation has a significant promoting effect on the regional agglomeration of FDI. This indicates that FDI location selection is more inclined to use the dilution ability of precipitation for pollution to reduce environmental costs, rather than relying solely on water resources. Further analysis shows that the preference of FDI enterprises on precipitation in the eastern region is significantly lower than that in the central and northeastern regions. This reflects the trend that FDI enterprises gradually shift to regions with a low degree of environmental regulation to reduce environmental costs. Therefore, the efforts made by economically developed cities to improve the regional ecological environment may be offset by the location adjustment of FDI enterprises, and precipitation has become an important stimulus for the location transfer of FDI enterprises.

Abstract:
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow to Africa has unevenly distributed investment location choices of multinational enterprises because of some exogenous economic factors associated with the locations, which vary across countries in Africa. The data used in the paper comes from Financial Times, World Bank, African Development Bank. This paper investigated what determines the location choice of FDI inflow to Africa using data on 3,768 firms from 88 countries making location choices in 54 African countries using a multicategory logistic regression. The findings show that: (1) the natural resource seeking enterprises invest more in landlocked countries relative to manufacturing and tertiary sector; (2) the natural resource seeking firms are less concerned about local market size and location’s economic condition comparing to manufacturing and service industries; (3) despite the accusation against the multinational enterprises (MNEs) for exploiting Africa’s natural resources, most of the MNEs choose locations with a large market size and better economic development; (4) the MNEs from developed economies prefer the location with a large market size and a better-developed economy comparing to those from the developing economies.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to propose an integrated framework combining the cost-reduction rationale and the institution-leveraging rationale to explain how institutional distance, both formal and informal, influences emerging multinational enterprises (EMNEs)’ foreign direct investment (FDI) location choice. This paper also explores the moderating role of EMNEs’ FDI experience and strategic intent on value chain positioning as a reflection of firm heterogeneities, on the link between institutional distance and location choice. Design/methodology/approach This paper tests the hypotheses based on a firm-level longitudinal data set of FDI by Chinese EMNEs. The unique data are manually collected from Chinese companies listed on Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges, composed of 250 FDI entries of 122 manufacturing firms from 2006 to 2010. The conditional logit model is used to estimate the proposed main effect and moderating effect. Findings Cultural distance does not deter Chinese EMNEs’ entrance in general, but firms investing in low value-added manufacturing subsidiaries are more likely to choose culturally similar countries than those investing in high value-added subsidiaries such as in upstream R&D and downstream marketing. Formal institutional distance with positive direction promotes Chinese EMNEs’ entrance, and this effect is enhanced when firms have less FDI experience and have the strategic intent to invest in high value-added subsidiaries. Originality/value This paper contributes to the current literature by identifying a holistic view of the institutional influences on FDI location choice of EMNEs and revealing how firm-level heterogeneities, particularly FDI experience and strategic intent of subsidiary value chain positioning, shape the boundary conditions of the institutional effects in different ways.

Abstract:
By relying on an extensive set of firm data for foreign affiliates in China, the paper investigates the determinants of FDI location choice for multinational firm subsidiaries located in different special economic and investment zones. Using a logit estimation, the results suggest that various factors explain the location choice of FDI in China, and vary according to the country of origin and the sector of activity. Overall, the results show that the protection of intellectual rights, the agglomeration economies, the investments in education and the GDP of the region affect the location choice of FDI. Implications can be drawn for policy-makers to divert FDI from coastal to inland regions. Finally, the last part of the paper derives, from the obtained results, implications for future research and theory building.

Abstract:
This paper examined the location choices of Chinese outward FDI (OFDI) from 2005–2016 with a particular focus on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. It was found that Chinese OFDI in ASEAN countries was generally focused on areas that had large potential markets and low tax rates. Unlike previous studies, it was found that primary and secondary industry labor costs were the main motivators rather than resource-seeking. The business environment in the host countries was also found to have positive and significant effects on Chinese OFDI location choice for the agricultural, mining, construction, and information industries. The insights in this paper could provide useful suggestions for both governments and investors.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of the relationships between foreign direct investment (FDI) motives and the location choice of internationalising firms. Based on data from South Korea, this thesis comprises three empirical chapters examining, from different aspects, South Korean internationalisation. The first empirical chapter is conceptualised work, exploring how South Korean firms invest abroad. It covers the way in which South Korean firms give consideration to 1) the economic structure and the dynamic country specific advantages in the host and home countries, 2) the growth of firms in emerging countries, and 3) their own competitiveness through the strategic- use of assets such as technology. These location choice strategies very with the host countries. Additionally, it examines the Korean outward FDI model by distinguishing between the motives for FDI, and discusses the development over time of the relationship between South Korean FDI motive and location choice, and it then identifies trends. The second empirical chapter analyses, by motive, factors that influence South Korean firms to locate their foreign subsidiaries in China. It discusses the factors by province, and takes into account the impact of the global financial crisis upon the location choice (by Chinese province) of South Korean firms. The third chapter studies how South Korean firms locate their FDI in the United States in order to obtain a strategic asset. It examines the relative importance of various location determinants of Korean high-tech industries and knowledge-intensive services. Specifically, the empirical works study how Korean firms internationalise. South Korean outward FDI in developing countries is mainly for the purpose of efficiency-seeking and export promotion motives; these transform over time to efficiency-seeking and market-seeking. On the other hand, the initial motivations for investing in developed countries were strategic asset-seeking and export promotion motives; these then developed into strategic asset-seeking and market-seeking FDI.

Abstract:
This thesis examines host location determinants of FDI in the context of EU15 countries using both a macro and a micro dataset. At the macro level, the analysis is conducted on a panel of EU15 inward FDI flows in order to identify the major host-country factors attracting FDI and the prevalent strategic motivations of the MNE into countries. After distinguishing between core and periphery EU15 countries and between investments from different parts of the world, we conclude that major differences exist in MNE motivation according to economic development levels and firm nationality. At the micro level we employ a different dataset of FDI projects into UK regions and examine the location decision of the MNE, first based on firm-specific attributes only and then based on firm-specific as well as region-specific characteristics. Our conclusions from this analysis are that London is the region which benefits most from inward investment and that regional specialisation is the single most important host location factor for regional FDI attraction.

In the trend of globalization, foreign direct investment (FDI), establishment of the multinationals, and global production and marketing chain have become one of the important strategies Taiwanese manufacturers use to take the global market by attack outward. Due to different stages of economic development among countries, variances occur in firms’ product preference and factor endowment and will influence investing firms’ profit as well. In the past, the evidences of relevant theories are well tested in developed economies. Therefore, it is necessary to address newly theoretical hypotheses of FDI for Taiwan in the stage of rapid economic development. Because firms’ FDI locational choices would be influenced by the factors including the relationships of network linkages the firms in Taiwan excel in establishing, the active search for advanced technology, the superiority in research, development, and innovation, and the establishment of multinationals from development potential for local markets, our hypotheses take account of these factors. The manufactures FDI survey data used in the present study was compiled by the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Taiwan. This study set up Probit regression model and bivariate Probit with sample selection model to empirically examine locational and industrial choices, but our main focus is firms’ FDI locational decision. Also, this study compared the factors affecting FDI locational and industrial decisions of information and electronics industries with those of non-information and electronics industries. Our empirical results regarding locational choices show that the probability that the firms prefer to penetrate a high-income country is higher for firms holding one of the characteristics including origination from domestic information and electronics industries, domestic information and electronics industry firms belonging in lower-labor density, large-scale asset, higher research and development density, technology-seeking motives, larger development potential for local markets, lower level of labor input and lower investment in networking relationships. Comparing locational choices in different industry groups, there is higher probability of FDI’s being in high-income countries when information and electronics industries hold larger-scale asset, domestic research and development sector, desire for advanced technology, market-oriented motives, and disregard of labor input and the relationships of network linkages. Non-information and electronics industries have higher probability of FDI’s being in high-income countries only when holding large-scale asset, technology-seeking motives, and disregard of labor input and the relationships of network linkages. As for industrial choices, the empirical results indicate that when firms coming from domestic information and electronics industries invest in low-middle income countries, they would tend to invest in the same sector abroad. Whether firms invest in high-income or low-middle income countries, both the overseas operation with main dependence on labor input and the relationships of network linkages make firms determine to invest in the information and electronics industry. Comparing industrial choices in different industry groups, whether firms invest in high-income or low-middle income countries, information and electronics industries would invest in the same sector abroad when they emphasize labor input and the relationships of network linkages. Non-information and electronics industries that invest in high- income countries would invest in the same sector abroad only when the overseas operation depends mainly on labor input. However, they would not be influenced by any factors while investing in low-middle income countries. In addition to arguing previous literature of locational choices, our study take account of the choices of industry. This study has proved over relevant hypotheses of locational choices. Also, to discuss industrial choices under the consideration of different locations, although we could more explain strategic decisions about FDI of different firms, we couldn’t suggest many factors to explain the industrial choices, which may be a prospective goal we will attempt to achieve in many aspects in the future.

Abstract This thesis aims to explore the main determinants of FDI location choice of 959 Taiwanese manufacturing firms over the period of 2000-2010. By using the nested logit model that considers not only the host country characteristics but also the firm heterogeneity, we draw the following conclusions. Firstly, from the aspect of country characteristic, Taiwanese firms usually invest more in host countries which have relatively lager market potential size. Secondly, as for firm characteristic, relatively to invest in China, firm heterogeneity is indeed the major determinant of FDI location choice of Taiwanese firms. Keywords: nested logit model; firm heterogeneity; location choice; FDI

China is always the largest number of Taiwanese MNEs FDI to invest in overseas markets, but foreign investment in China is very obvious differences in the of location choice. Investment determinants of location selection, This study uses Ghemawat(2001) CAGE model , to Cultural, Administrative, Geographic and Economic in four dimensions, From the perspective of Taiwanese MNEs, explore the difference of investment environment in the China provinces relationship between location selection. To understand Taiwanese MNEs on the China in the past by decisive factor in the location choice of investments and investment zones in the province. Research results show that effects of Taiwan businesses to China provinces and location selection for Chinese mainland provinces of the four cultural, administrative, geographical and economic dimensions are significantly positive. This major study found, Taiwanese investments in mainland China on the Location Choice of cultural distance does not significantly higher, local government administrative efficiency to attract foreign investment has a very important and positive impact on the effectiveness of. Region local government more efficient and smaller geographical distance and economic distances, were future foreign direct investment have a positive effect, outside the area of the future the higher the amount of direct investment. In addition, provinces in the Eastern and central regions, geographical distance and two framed face more into the western regions economic distance gap is still large, after narrowing the gap have to control other relevant factors in order to attract more investment from Taiwanese MNEs.

In the recent years, due to the external issues such as, low cost advantage of developing country manufacture product、the pressure caused by the protectionism of developed country, and the internal issues, such as appreciation of Taiwan dollar、salary rising and eco-awareness, in droves of enterprises in Taiwan move toward to invest abroad, hoping to find the suitable location to lower their production cost, in order to increase the competitiveness in the globe market. Among all the countries in the world, China and Vietnam are the most popular location for Taiwanese enterprises when choosing investment spot. Therefore, this study uses case study as the research method, take samples on Taiwanese enterprises who chosen China or Vietnam as their first time oversea investment location, to investigate their enterprises advantage、oversea investment location selection and local network strategy co-relation. This study uses resource-based to interpret enterprise advantage which includes internal resources advantage and external network relation. After information collection and personal interview on 10 Taiwanese enterprises, he information was reorganized and analyzed, and the result are shown in the follow: 1. Resources advantage has influence on network related business operation 2. Investment region selection is not influence by resources advantage. 3. Investment location selection often influence by network relation 4. Foreign investment business often pay attention to local network management, such as the communication with the local government 5. Resources advantage has influences on local network relation. 6. The original network relation has influences on local network relation 7. The investment region selection has influences by local network relation

Taiwan’s manufacture SMEs play an essential role in Taiwan’s rapid development of economy. It improves citizens’ living standard, but it also brings disadvantage of negative effect for the economy development. Recently, with the changes in the economical environment, low-middle-income countries’ profitable manufacturing conditions, and business international development, the manufacturers in Taiwan shift their investment abroad. The hypothesis of this research is based on FDI theory. The data of the survey is collected from Statistics of “Taiwan Manufactures FDI Survey” in 2000. The sample is present FDI firms, and this report uses probit model to analyze the factors of the location choice and uses ordered probit model to analyze the factors of the propensity of FDI. Then the research is compared with different enterprises size in the real factors of both. According to the empirical studies of the location choice, when the size of domestic enterprises is smaller, there are higher probabilities for enterprises FDI in high-income countries. This is the most different discovery to pre-research. This conclusion also shows that Taiwan’s small-medium enterprises (SMEs) specialize to those in other countries. When the overseas are large, setting up the research and development sector in domestic, being optimistic to Taiwan’s boom, enlarging the size of manufacture in domestic, and not to emphasize the relationship of network linkages, there are higher probabilities FDI for them in high-income countries. Compared with different enterprises’ sizes, there are higher probabilities FDI in high-income countries when enterprises’ sizes are large overseas, setting up research and development sector, being optimistic in Taiwan’s boom, enlarging the size of manufacture in domestic, and not to emphasize the relationship of network linkages for small enterprises. Medium enterprises either have higher probabilities FDI in high-income countries when enterprises sizes are large overseas and setup research and development sector domestic. Large enterprises have higher probabilities FDI in high-income countries only when enterprises sizes are large overseas and optimistic in Taiwan’s boom. As the empirical studies of propensity shows, domestic enterprises’ sizes are larger. And those subsidiaries are wholly-venture and technology transitive from mother company in Taiwan, which the sale of their subsidiaries are with high growth, vertical integration, network orientation, and the sale for overseas markets. That will enhance propensity of FDI. Compared with different enterprises’ sizes, that will enhance propensity of FDI when small enterprises are capital intensive, high vertical integration, network orientation, and the sale for local markets. Those subsidiaries are wholly-venture, technology transitive from the mother Company in Taiwan. Vertical and horizontal integration with their mother company over their products and their business are focus on export, which also enhances propensity of FDI for medium enterprises. Only technology transitive from Mother company in Taiwan, the sale of their subsidiaries are with high growth, and the sale for overseas markets will enhance propensity of FDI for large enterprises. According to empirical studies, this paper has proved over the hypothesis. In addition, there is a difference between that higher probabilities with enterprises’ size in domestic are smaller than those in high-income countries and pre-research. Now Taiwan’s manufactures face the transformation of industry. To avoid “Industrial Hallowing-out” crisis, the government should be active to provide an advantageous investing environment, as well as the industrial upgrading and technological innovation.

Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: This study investigates effects of natural catastrophes on the cost of sovereign debt in developing countries and discusses MNC financing strategies. Background: Over the last decades, natural disasters have increased in both number and severity. The combination of higher event frequency and intensity, coupled with fragile economic conditions in emerging market countries, may affect sovereign bond prices—particularly in developing countries—and consequently may have effects on the financing strategy of MNCs Methodology: Parametric and non-parametric analyses and event study method. Contribution: The current literature in International Business research has overlooked natural catastrophes as a source of heterogeneity across countries for investment decisions. We develop the theory and demonstrate empirically that both researchers and practitioners should take into account natural disasters when making internationalization decisions. Findings: We find that natural disasters have a material impact on the bond returns issued by developing country governments and consequently on MNCs’ host-country financing costs. Recommendations for Practitioners: Practitioners may consider the likelihood of natural disasters when making investment decisions in foreign countries. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers may consider including natural disasters when in internationalization research; our research adds in particular a new dimension to the location choice literature. Impact on Society: Governments—in particular those in emerging markets—may rethink their strategies of how to “insure” themselves against natural disasters. Not being insured against these disasters result in negative secondary effects on economic development through higher cost of capital, and possible through lower FDI activities. Future Research: Future research can be done. There are several avenues: using our insights and applying them to governmental reinsurance strategies would be a worthwhile topic. On a different level, one could also investigate further the contingencies of our findings and extend the theoretical framework towards developed markets.
