STRATEGIC ASSETS SEEKING
Inward InvestmentInward (inflow) is when the foreign
capital are invested in local resources.
The inflow of foreign capital into Brunei
For example : General Motors decides to open a factory in Brunei. They are going to need some human capital. That human capital is inward FDI for Brunei.
Inward FDI is encouraged by Tax breaks, subsidies, low
interest loans, grants.
Inward FDI is restricted by Ownership restraints or limits,
differential performance requirements
Outward Direction Outward (outflow) is when the local resources are
invested to another country
The outflow of Brunei capital to other country
For example: Brunei invest in Dorchester Hotel
Outward FDI is encouraged by Government-backed insurance to cover risk
Outward FDI is restricted by Tax incentives or disincentives on firms that invest outside of the domestic country.
Greenfield Target
An investment involve the flow of FDI by building up New production capacities Expansion of the existing production
Greenfield Investing is offered as an alternative to another types of investment, for example as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, or licensing agreements.
Foreign Horizontal Direct Investme
nt
An investment made by a multinational company in different nations.
It is the investment made for conducting similar business operations.
For example: Apple Inc. factory in Brunei
Horizontal FDI results in expansion of the parent company and brings FDI in the other economy
Vertical Foreign Direct
Investment
Backward Vertical = It is when an industry abroad provides inputs for a firm's domestic production process
For example: Brunei Shell Petroleum with Royal Dutch Shell
Forward Vertical = industry abroad sells the outputs of a firm's domestic production process.
For example: when Volkswagen entered the United States market it acquired a large number of dealers rather than distribute its cars through independent United States dealers
Resource SeekingThis investment
aimed to get production factor supplies at low
cost. The investment is
seeking access to existing resourcesFor e.g. : China low labour cost
The most important among these are:
1. Raw materials, 2. Labour, 3. Public incentives4. The chance to restrain logistic costs
MARKET SEEKING
Its aim is to realize a direct presence in the foreign market to quickly develop sales revenue and control
the marketing mix policy.
It allows firms to pursue strategic goals such as threatening competitors by entering their home
market.
An example is General Motors’ investment in China which is
market seeking because the cars built in China are sold in China.
Strategic asset seeking It is an investment led to increase self-competitiveness through
the acquisition of strategic assets such as technologies not available in the home market, or rather links with global value-chains.
This kind of investment typically regards firms located in emerging or developing countries (particularly China), and are often undertaken for various reasons such as to lower costs of production or the will to expand on overseas markets. Similarly to the efficiency seeking firms, the strategic asset seekers aim to capitalise on the advantages of the common ownership of a network of activities and capabilities in diverse environments.
For example: China low labour cost so the Apple Inc. built its factory there.

The study has also identified several land zones along the coastal corridor suitable for industrial and commercial
use –
Telisai Energy Park for petrochemicals and heavy industries;
Panaga for general industries, warehouses and assembly;
Anduki for logistics and warehouse uses; Keriam for light manufacturing, processing
and distribution; Brunei Creative & Knowledge Industries Precinct located around the Agrotechnology Park

Brunei Aerotech Precinct located around the Brunei International Airport, for business, retail, leisure and entertainment services, as well as storage and 'distribution network facilities
Pulau Muara Besar for petrochemicals and logistics.
The key actions are –
To ensure the incentives offered by Brunei are competitive
The process of creating special purpose zones can respond to new investment proposals;
To review the mechanisms for investment attraction and facilitation, and ensure decision-making is expedited within stated timelines;
To adopt the recommended sustainable urban development areas (SUDAs), ie Telisai Energy Park, Brunei Creative & Knowledge Industries Precinct and Brunei Aerotech Precinct, and establish a development authority for each SUDA;
To give statutory effect to the plans recommended in this study;
To ensure the private sector can take a lead role in future urban development including the release of registered title land for purchase, and foreign investors are offered secure long-term leasehold of required land for economic development and to prepare a State Land Management Plan where ministries will be required to prepare a business case to identify future land requirements and the government to prepare a strategic infrastructure development strategy with funding provided to enable a continuous rollout of infrastructure to support the local construction industry.
