“A student pursuing management education from IILM-
Graduate School of Management, for example may find
himself or herself placed in a firm located in a totally
different country. Knowledge about international
business keeps the youngster mentally prepared to
accept assignment in an alien environment. Forewarning
is definitely forearming, for the fresh management
graduate”.

In simple terms, FDI refers to the purchase of a
significant number of shares of a foreign company
in order to gain certain degree of management
control. The core of FDI are the international
flows of capital. What share of equity bestows
management control in a foreign company?
Introduction

• Countries set different thresholds at which they classify an international capital flow as FDI.
• Most governments set the threshold at anywhere from 10 to 25 percent of equity ownership in a company abroad (In US, it is 10 percent).
• In contrast, an investment that does not involve obtaining a degree of control in a foreign company is called portfolio investment.

The UN’s World Investment Report goes beyond
equity investment. According to the Report, FDI
includes three components,
1. Equity capital
2. Reinvested earnings
3. Intra-company loans

FDI inflow in India said to include the following: 1. Reserve Bank of India’s automatic approval route for
equity holding up to 51 percent.
2. FIB’s discretionary approval route for larger projects with equity holding greater than 51 %.
3. Acquisition of shares (since 1996).
4. RBI’s non-resident Indian (NRI) schemes, and
5. External commercial borrowings (ADR/GDR route).

• Indian definition of FDI differs from that of the IMF, as well as of the World Investment Report.
• IMF’s definition includes external commercial borrowings, reinvested earnings and subordinated debts, while the World Investment Report excludes external commercial borrowings.

Why do countries want FDI? There are strong
reasons why MNCs are welcomed to invest in
foreign countries.
Why FDI?

Why FDI?

Global Business Management Foreign Direct Investment
1. Filling the gap between domestically available
Supplies of savings, Foreign exchange earnings, Government revenue and Human capital skills (management, technology)
and the desired level of these resources
necessary to achieve the development targets.

2. Factories set up by MNCs act as nuclei of growth. An industrial enterprise established by a foreign
company gives birth to several other enterprises which supply inputs to current company.
It is not as if only a few surrounding firms are the beneficiaries. An entire industry, steel for
example, may get a boost. It is estimated that every dollar of FDI increases domestic
investment by 80 percent.

3. FDI can generate healthy competition in the recipient countries.
When FDI assumes the form of green field projects, the results is the creation of new enterprises, adding to the number of players in the market.
Intense competition enhances consumer choice, trends to bring down prices and boost economic welfare of the consumers.

3. FDI can generate healthy competition in the recipient countries.
But when MNCs buy out popular local Brands/
companies, benefits from expected competition will
not result. For example,
Such acquisition do not
add to any additional benefits to economy.

4. Too often, location advantages attract FDI. Hyundai, automobile giant (South Korea), has
chosen Chennai for its new car manufacturing plant. • Skilled labour at low wages,• Location of auto parts manufacturers such as
Wheels India, Brakes India, Sundaram Fasteners/Brakes, Bimetal Bearings, and India Pistons in and around Chennai,
• Guaranteed power supply, Cheap land and • Proximity to sea port have attracted the plant to
the capital city of Tamil Nadu.

4. Too often, location advantages attract FDI. France has been the target of much MNC activity.
Daimler-Chrysler has recently built a new factory in France because of its faith in the worker’s productivity and work ethics.
This explains the FDI undertake by many of the world’s oil companies, which had to invest where oil was located.

5. FDI often depends on a country’s political attempts to reduce security risks. For example:
Another move behind FDI…During the 1980s, the US government instituted various incentives to increase the profitability of US investments in Caribbean countries that were unfriendly to Cuba’s Castro regime.

5. FDI often depends on a country’s political attempts to reduce security risks. For example:
US wanted to strengthen the economies of those friendly nations through growth of the FDI and make it difficult for unfriendly leftist govt. to gain control.
With the end of Civil war, US ended investment incentives in Caribbean region, and much investment was diverted to Mexico because of NAFTA.

5. FDI often depends on a country’s political attempts to reduce security risks. For example:
Chinese state-owned petroleum companies have been investing abroad so as to minimize dependence on foreign companies for oil supplies. The move may also help China hold down prices on the petroleum it receives.

6. It is the poor countries that deserve FDI more than any others.
How to alleviate poverty? Aid from international institutions and rich countries can be a temporary measure. Economic growth ushered in by increased investment can be a permanent solution.

6. It is the poor countries that deserve FDI more than any others.
‘Many of the poorest countries are simply being bypassed by globalization, and the promises of
the rich countries are not being fulfilled. We need more globalization that reaches poor countries. He added that FDI would be the strongest engine of growth in the developing world’.

• This FDI said to take place when a firm invests abroad in the same industry in which it operates in the home country.
• It represents, a geographical diversification of the MNE’s established domestic product line.
• Most Japanese MNEs believe that this approach enables them to share experience, resources, and knowledge already developed at home, thus reducing risk.
• The acquisition of Ranbaxy, a leading Indian pharmaceutical MNE, by Japan’s Daiichi Sankyo is an example of horizontal FDI.

• This FDI refers to investment in activities along the firm’s existing supply chain to avail the benefits of vertical integration.
• It occurs when the MNE enters a foreign country to produce intermediate goods that are intended for use as input in its home country production process (backward vertical FDI), or to market its homemade products overseas (forward FDI).
• ONGC, which is in the business of petroleum refining in India, has purchased oil fields in South Africa.
• When Volkswagen entered the US market it acquired a large number of dealers rather than distribute its products through independent US dealers.

• If FDI abroad is to manufacture products not manufactured by the parent company at home, it is called conglomerate FDI.
• Hong Kong MNEs often set up foreign subsidiaries or acquire local firms in mainland China to manufacture goods that are unrelated to the parent company’s product portfolio.
• The main purpose is to seize emerging market opportunities.
“ Horizontal FDI is used by both developed and developing country MNEs. It enables MNE to quickly establish its competitive advantage in the host country. Conglomerate FDI involves more difficulties”.

BRANCH OFFICE
A branch office is a foreign entity in a host country in which it is not incorporated but exists as an
extension of the parent and is legally constituted as a branch. They are entitled to run businesses within
a specified scope or location.
Corporate law in many countries allows foreign companies to open branches that engage in production and operating activities.

Modes of FDI EntryBRANCH OFFICE
• Branch offices are particularly utilized by transnational banks, law firms and accounting or consulting companies.
• Britain’s Standard Bank had 1,000 branches in South Africa in 2001, and was ranked the largest foreign bank in that country.
• Branch offices may offer a simple means for establishing or expanding a presence in a target country, but since they do not have legal-person status, the foreign parent company is liable if civil charges are brought against the branch.

Modes of FDI EntryJOINT VENTURES
• These can take the form of either cooperative (contractual) Joint Venture or Equity Joint Ventures.
• These are gaining importance worldwide as global competition intensifies for access to market, products, and technologies.
• Most large MNCs such as Motorola, Siemens, Sony, GM, Daimler, and Toyota have built such alliances.
• In Japan alone, Royal Dutch Shell has established more than 30 joint ventures.

Modes of FDI EntryCO-OPERATIVE JOINT VENTURE
• It is a collaborative agreement whereby profits and other responsibilities are assigned to each party according to a contract. These are not necessarily according to each partner’s percentage of the total investment.
• Many cooperative programs today involve joint activities without the creation of new corporate entity. Like, Research partnership, co-production, joint marketing, long-term supply agreement.

Modes of FDI Entry
EQUITY JOINT VENTURE
• The most common foreign entry for MNCs has been through equity joint ventures, establishing a new entity that is jointly owned and managed by two or more parent firms in different countries.
• To set up an equity joint venture, each partner contributes cash, facilities, equipment, materials, intellectual property rights, labor or land use rights.

Modes of FDI EntryUMBRELLA HOLDING COMPANY
• DuPont (as MNE that are multidivisional) faced the coordination problem in China. Some joint venture there belong to, and are controlled only by, its pharmaceutical division, whereas others belong to its plastic or petroleum divisions. In 1989 it established DuPont China Ltd as its holding company to unite and integrate existing investments.

“ To establish an umbrella company, MNEs may need to comply with certain conditions set by the host-country government. In China, for example, the foreign investor must have established a minimum of 10 subunits in the country and engaged in manufacturing or infrastructure construction to which it has contributed at least $30 million in registered capital”.

Modes of FDI EntryDifferences: (Joint Venture Vs Mergers)
1. The major difference between equity joint venture and mergers is that the former involves formation of a third entity whose duration is often limited and specified in the contract, whereas the latter does not form any third party nor does it specify any duration.
2. Joint venture parties remain independent after forming a venture, but two parties are integrated into a single organization after a merger.
3. Also, mergers combine all of the partners’ assets, while a joint venture involves only some of these assets.

• IPLC theory, propounded in 1960s by Raymond Vernon of Harvard Business School, has two lessons: why trade takes place? and why investment occurs?.
• Theory explain how a company will begin by exporting its products and eventually undertake foreign direct investment, as the product moves through its life cycle.
• Theory has identified 3 stages in the life of a product:
1. New Product Stage
2. Maturing Product Stage
3. Standardized Product Stage

Theories of FDI Market Imperfections
• Market imperfection can be defined as anything that interferes with trade. It focuses on imperfections in the market (example trade barriers) that would decide FDI.
• According to Hymer, Kindleberger and Caves, the existence of MNCs is reasoned by structural market imperfections.

Perfect or Pure Competition in Market
In economics, perfect competition occurs in markets in which no participant has market power i.e. every
participant is a "price taker“.
Specific characteristics may include:
* Infinite Buyers/Infinite Sellers.
* Zero Entry/Exit Barriers – It is relatively easy to enter or
* Perfect Information - Prices and quality of products
* All firms have relatively small market shares.
* Homogeneous Products – firm sales identical product

Theories of FDI Eclectic Theory
John Harry Dunning, (June 26, 1927 – January 29, 2009) was a British economist. He researched the economics of international direct investment and the multinational enterprise from the 1950s until his death. In the 1980s, he published the eclectic paradigm or OLI-Model/Framework as further development on the theory of FDI.

26/07/10 50
Theories of FDI Eclectic Theory
According to Dunning, FDI will occur when three conditions (advantages of ownership, location and internalization ) are uniquely combined.
Ownership Advantage: – This advantage stems from the fact that the firm is
proprietary to some unique competitive advantage that helps it overcome the disadvantages of competing with foreign firms in overseas markets.

Location Advantage:– Advantage of locating a particular factory in a
specific location because of unique characteristics of that location. Like, Availability of natural resources such as oil in the Middle East, timber in Canada and Copper in Chile.
– Cater Pillar, manufactures bulldozers in Brazil to take advantage of lower labour costs and avoid high tariff walls on goods exported from its US factories.

Theories of FDI Eclectic Theory
Internalization Advantage:– Internalization refers to the firm’s inherent flexibility
and capacity to produce and market through its own internal subsidiaries, rather than producing through an arrangement such as licensing or....
– The firm must benefit from controlling (internalizing) the foreign business activity than leaving it to a local company to provide the service.

Theories of FDI Market Power
• This theory states that a firm seeks to establish a dominant market presence in an industry by undertaking FDI. Dominant market presence results in greater profits to the firms.
• Market power is often sought to be achieved through vertical integration. Such integration may be the extension of the company’s activities into its supply chain (backward) or absorbing of its output (forward).

26/07/10 56
Theories of FDI Market Power
Increasing numbers of manufacturers today are pursuing a forward integration strategy by establishing websites to sell products directly to consumers.
Backward integration strategy can be especially appropriate when a firm’s current suppliers are unreliable, too costly or cannot meet the form’s needs.
IILM-GSM
Global Business Management Foreign Direct Investment
26/07/10 57
Theories of FDI Internalization Approach
• Propounded by Buckley and Casson, the internalization theory is based on two principles:
1. Firms internalize missing or imperfect external markets
2. Firms choose locations for their constituent activities to minimize the overall costs of their operations.
• The location aspect of the theory suggests three primary motivations:
1. Foreign-market-seeking FDI
2. Efficiency (cost reduction)-seeking FDI
3. Resource-seeking FDI
IILM-GSM
Global Business Management Foreign Direct Investment
26/07/10 58
Theories of FDI Internalization Approach
• Market-seeking FDI will be undertaken by firms for traditional trade supporting reasons, to access distribution networks, to facilitate the exports of domestic products and to enhance exports from the host country.
• Efficiency-seeking FDI will occur when outward investors seeks lower-cost locations for operations, in particular, in their search for lower cost labor.
• Resource-seeking FDI occurs when there is need to acquire or secure the supply of raw materials and energy sources in short supply at home.

Economic priorities of developing countries often clash with profit motives of MNC. Hence, developing countries
impose restrictions on the flow of FDI into their economies.
• Compared to other developing countries, India followed a restrictive policy towards FDI until 1991, relying more on bilateral and multilateral agreements.
• Precisely for many reasons, MNCs were avoiding investment in India till 1991. But, as is too well known, the scenario in India is totally different now.

Factors Influencing FDI
Government Factor: Avoidance of Trade barriers
Fuji Photo Film Company has invested $200 million to set up a manufacturing plant in the US.
• Earlier, the company supplied film to its US customers from its factories in the Netherland and Japan. While exporting to the US, Fuji was paying 3.7 percent of tariff imposed by the US government. This tax has been saved by producing film in the US itself.
