Third World Multinationals: The Rise of Foreign Direct Investment from Developing Countries
Third World multinationals: A look back
When I finished the book Third World Multinationals: The Rise of Foreign Investment from Developing Countries in 1982, I said that I was finished with the subject. I had described a number of multinationals, proposed some explanations for the phenomenon, provided a little evidence, and hoped that others would pick up on the ideas and do more systematic research. I refused to participate in subsequent conferences on the subject and would not write…
Private Power in Indonesia
The Asian currency crisis led to the collapse of agreements that Indonesia had negotiated for private electric power only a few years earlier. The ensuing struggle with investors created bad publicity and cost the country several hundred million dollars. As Indonesia in 2007 was designing a new law that would pass the constitutional test and encourage private investors in electric power, it was not clear that officials had fully understood the le…

Technology Crossing Borders: The Choice, Transfer and Management of International Technology Flows
The empirical work in this book examines three issues in the transfer of technology: 1) how managers, public and private, choose the kinds of technology they import or export; 2) how multinational enterprises decide on the channels through which they transfer technology and how that choice affects the recipient firm abroad; and 3) how multinational enterprises manage certain of their relationships with overseas affiliates that import, use, modify…
Sovereignty en garde: Negotiating With Foreign Investors
Governments must choose between general policies and individual negotiations to reach agreements with foreign investors. General policy leaves nothing to be negotiated. But once negotiation is selected, governments face difficult choices over how to conduct ne otiations. No single choice of organizational structure or administrative process is optimal for all countries or for all industries. Each organizational choice carries a range of economic …

Third World Multinationals: The Rise of Foreign Investment from Developing Countries
In the past decade, a number of Third World countries have emerged from their economic status as sources of raw materials or as sweatshops in which low-wage, low-skilled workers produced goods for the richer nations. Now they are themselves manufacturing and consuming high-quality, high-technology products and are establishing foreign subsidiaries, most often in other developing countries. This book is the first to study the significant-growth in…

Mineral Agreements in Developing Countries: Structures and Substance
Despite the many dramatic developments that have occurred over the past half dozen years in relation to the production of natural resources in some areas of the third world, mineral production in most developing countries is still carried out through contractual arrangements between foreign firms and host country governments. The nationalization of the copper industry in Chile and the bauxite industry in Guyana, the spectacular successes of OPEC,…

The Multinational Business Enterprise: What Kind of International Organization
The recent growth in the size and number of private business enterprises that operate in many countries has generated a great deal of speculation as to whether a form of international organization has been created which is able to frustrate the policies of the traditional nation-state. The enterprise with subsidiaries scattered around the globe clearly has the potential to evade the influence of many governmental policies. The firm can circumvent…
