Dunning John and Gugler Philippe (Eds.), Foreign Direct Investments, Location and Competitiveness, (Oxford: Elsevier, 2008) 306.
Abstract This volume addresses some of the critical issues now demanding the attention of International Business teachers and researchers. From several angles, the contributions analyse factors which may explain, and/or influence the relationship between the competitiveness of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and the countries in which they operate. More particularly, the four main issues address: the recent advances in the determinants and strategy of multinational business activity; the determinants of location competitiveness of countries; the competitiveness of emergent and developing countries and the locational responses of both indigenous and foreign-owned firms; and the policy challenges raised by the highly fragmented, and often uncoordinated international regulatory framework on government FDI. It is hoped the contents of the volume will be of interest to international business scholars, senior executives of multinational enterprises and national policy makers interested in advancing their competitiveness by engaging in outward, and encouraging inward foreign direct investment.
