It is increasingly recognized by policymakers as well as academics around the world that close direct and indirect interaction between multinational corpora- tions (MNCs) and local firms is absolutely essential if foreign direct investment (FDI) is to have deep and lasting positive effects on host countries. Nevertheless, the issue of MNC-local firm interaction has been relatively underexplored in the academic literature until recently, where we have seen the emergence of a growing literature focusing on linkages and spillovers from FDI.
This book aims at contributing to the emerging literature on MNC-local firm interfaces by providing a number of country studies from emerging economies of the spillover and linkage effects of multinational corporations on local firms. Moreover, the book takes the issue to the policy level by sharing and evaluating policy experiences from a number of countries on efforts to promote closer inter- action between MNCs and local firms. The country studies are placed within a framework for analyzing MNC-local firm interfaces that integrates insights from the spillover and linkage literature.
