Internalization theory, despite criticism of its empirical
deficiency, has dominated the industrial organization approach to
the multinational enterprise and its foreign direct investment
(FDI) decisions. Liu improves the empirical foundations of
internalization theory, through the elaboration of the FDI
signaling framework, which holds that a firm's direct foreign
investment influences the perceptions of less-informed market
participants. The signaling concept is derived from the premise
that a firm's intangible assets in know-how cannot be correctly
priced in a market with asymmetric information, and this motivates
the firm's decision to undertake FDI. If the premise is correct,
the firm's decision is based on inside information, and the firm's
action reveals that information to the market. The firm's FDI
internalization is evidence of management's confidence in its
intangible assets, and its action may further influence market
perceptions. The hypotheses generated along this line of analysis
are subjected to investigation, and the evidence supports the FDI
signaling proposition. Moreover, the study represents an indirect
test of internalization theory. As a result, internalization is
transformed from a untested theory to an empirical result.
