This further volume on the effects of multinational enterprises
(MNEs) provides a contribution for the analysis of the impact of
MNEs activities on host development and growth, the creation of
linkages and knowledge flows in local contexts, and the
relationships between foreign activities and home competitiveness.
Specifically, the conceptual discussion and the fresh empirical
evidence provided in the volume allow light to be shed on the
following questions, which are crucial for designing the role of
policy in order to trigger virtuous circles between multinationals,
and local development and growth:
To what extent do foreign MNEs represent a crucial source of
spillovers for local domestic companies? And which are the working
mechanisms of these technological transfers?
How can development and growth processes take off? And are there
privileged sectors and locations?
Do MNEs benefit from significant technological transfer from their
foreign activities? And what modalities and mechanisms do MNEs
adopt to value technological transfers? Which are the main
advantages stemming from them?
Do MNEs performances also benefit in terms of labour productivity
and employment?
The answers provided highlight that recursive elements and
interaction between international institutions, government policies
and strategies of MNEs are main mechanisms to factors that
influence development and growth, thus offering new insights to
policy makers.
*Studies the relationship of the MNE with it's home and host
countries
*Analyzes the effect of MNEs upon local development and
growth
*Contributes to define the role for public industrial and economic
policies
