This volume represents the first substantive study of emerging
multinationals (MNEs) from Asian economies, drawing on the unique
experiences of South Korea and Taiwan. Combining an econometric
investigation with detailed case studies of leading Korean and
Taiwanese electronics companies, it aims to demystify the nature
and theoretical implications of these dynamic economic
regions.
The author argues that many of these new multinationals do not
possess the characteristics typically ascribed to MNEs, such as
technological leadership, strong marketing positions or advanced
managerial capabilities. This is highlighted by documentation of
recent developments in outward investment from Korea and Taiwan at
both micro and macro level. The implications of the recent Asian
crisis for the internationaliztion of Korean and Taiwanese firms
are also explored.
Despite the long history of international economic activity and the
dominant role of Dutch MNEs in the world economy there has been
relatively little academic research in the area. This book explores
issues such as:
* What historical precedents underlie the character of Dutch MNE
activity
* How and why the technological specialisation of the Dutch
economy and its firms has evolved to its current state
* The changing FDI activity of Dutch MNEs
* The strategic aspects of Dutch MNE activity in terms of location
and R&D
* The implications for Dutch MNEs of globalisation and economic
integration
Comprehensive in its coverage, this book will be of great interest
to students and researchers in international business.
