Foreign direct investment strategies by developing country multinationals: A diagnostic model for home country effects
Abstract
We explore how home country conditions affect outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) strategies (scale, timing, location) employed by developing country multinational corporations (DMNCs). Extending from the springboard and LLL (leverage, linkage, and learning) perspectives, we illustrate that DMNCs rely on their home base during their internalization process in a unique fashion compared with traditional multinationals due to their well‐established strengths at home and competitive weaknesses overseas. Our survey of 153 DMNCs from China shows that, beyond the host country impacts that have been widely studied, DMNCs' overseas investment strategies are influenced by home country environment parameters, including economic growth, perceived institutional hardship, competitive pressure, and by their home country operational characteristics, including inward internationalization, innovation orientation, and business development stage.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
