Abstract: Abstract of the thesis entitled Essays on Multinational Enterprises Submitted by Yi LU for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in September 2007 The world economy has witnessed a continuous trend of globalization since the late 1980s: the value of world exports reached US$6.6 billion in 2003, about one sixth of the world's total GDP. Multinational enterprises have played an important role in this wave of globalization. At the macro-level, the world-wide real inflows of FDI increased by 17.7% during the period 1985-1999, far outpacing the growth of GDP and trade which increased by 2.5% and 5.6%, respectively (Barba-Navaretti and Venables, 2004); while at the micro-level, foreign-owned multinational enterprises currently employ one fifth of workers in European manufacturing industries and one seventh in their counterparts in the U.S.; they sell one euro in every four of manufactured goods in Europe and one dollar in every five in the US (OECD, 2001). Along with the increasing importance of multinational enterprises in international trade, studies on multinational enterprises have recently mushroomed in international economics. They apply the theory of the firm, i.e. the property rights theory (Grossman and Hart, 1986) to understanding the behavior of multinational enterprises, and employ the newly available reliable firm-level datasets to conduct empirical research. This thesis contributes to this growing literature by studying two aspects of the business strategies of multinationals. Much evidence shows that multinational enterprises conduct bi-sourcing in organizing production, i.e., acquiring the same set of inputs by both buying from external suppliers (outsourcing) and producing in component-manufacturing subsidiaries (insourcing). The first chapter of this thesis shows that, by adopting the bi-sourcing strategy, multinational enterprises can use the payoff from one supplier as a backup option in negotiating with the other supplier (the cross-threat effect). Moreover, in the global economy consisting of high-waged North and low-waged South, multinational enterprises need to make the location choice for both insourcing and outsourcing. We find that the low wage in the South can stimulate the investment incentive of component suppliers (the cost effect). However, multinational enterprises may achieve better cross-threat effect by relocating overly strong component suppliers from the advantageous South to the disadvantageous North (the balancing effect). The Ioptimal bi-sourcing strategy is determined by the interplay of the cost effect and the balancing effect. Meanwhile, globalization enables multinational enterprises to organize production around the world, through which they can find the most efficient locations for each production stage. Thus, it is important to understand what affects the location choice made by multinational enterprises. The second chapter of this thesis examines the impacts of economic institutions, including property rights protection and contract enforcement, on the location choice of foreign direct investment. From a data set of 6,288 U.S. multinationals investing in various China's regions in the period 1993-2001, it is found that U.S. multinationals prefer to invest in those regions that have better protection of intellectual property rights, a lower degree of government intervention in business operations, a lower le

Synopsis In Whose Interests by : M. Patricia Marchak
In In Whose Interests, Patricia Marchak adopts a critical perspective, arguing that multinational corporations do not operate in the interests of society at large or in the interests of a national society such as Canada. Creating and sustaining a set of interests particular to their own well-being and growth, they are efficient organizations for which human labour and management of technical resources are primarily of monetary value. Such resources, along with natural materials, are managed by and for corporations so that technology, labour, and knowledge are harnessed to corporate growth rather than social welfare. Divided into two parts, the first concerned with the political economy of a corporate capitalism with particular reference to the Canadian situation, the second concerned with the internal organization of corporations, and with the contributions of sociology to an understanding of these, In Whose Interest provides a comprehensive entry into the literature of political economy.

Synopsis Global Competition and Technology by : Robert Pearce
Multinationals are increasingly taking internationalised approaches to the ways in which they generate new knowledge and develop innovative new products from it in the pursuit of global competitiveness. These new perspectives in MNEs' technological behaviour open up important additional possibilities for those countries that play host to operations of these companies. This book analyses in detail the new dimensions in MNEs' approach to global competitiveness and the role played in this by overseas R & D units, and discusses the implications of this for host countries' growth and welfare.
