Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the interfaces and integration between tax strategy and corporate strategy in the foreign direct investment (FDI) decision process of UK multinational firms. Drawing on the prior literature, it aims to develop a better understanding of: (i) the role of tax in the FDI decision making process; (ii) the stages at which tax issues are considered in the decision making; and (iii) the processes by which the FDI strategic decisions are made. Data were collected by means of a web- based survey using Survey Monkey. The FAME database served to provide the main sampling frame for the data collection. A total of 192 usable responses were obtained for data analysis. The relevance of taxation in the FDI strategic decision process has not generally been addressed in UK academic literature, so little is known about the processes by and stages at which FDI decisions vis-a-vis taxation are made. It is clear from the data analysis undertaken, for example, that tax is not a driving factor in strategic decisions, but one of many factors considered, and that multinationals do not take decisions based on tax criteria alone. The thesis can thus refute, for instance, popular perceptions that multinationals' behaviour makes exploitative use of tax avoidance schemes and devices, which is typically not supported by empirical evidence. The research findings suggest that tax strategy is part of corporate strategy in the FDI decision process. The findings show that tax incentives are not an important motive for FDI compared with other business-oriented motives, which play more important roles in the FDI decision making process. The study's findings add topical and original elements to the development of academic literature in this area and are also of practical significance.

Download or read book Investment Strategies and the Plant Location Decision written by Robert W. Haigh and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking contribution to the literature of foreign investment, this volume is based on an extensive field study conducted under the auspices of the Tayloe Murphy International Business Studies Center at the University of Virginia. Through in-depth personal interviews with the executives of 20 companies, the author examines the investment strategies and plant-location decisions of foreign corporations in the United States. In addition to identifying the market, cost, and other strategies that influenced the U.S. plant-investment decisions, the author analyzes managerial aspects of the plant-location decision-making process, describes specific location factors considered important by the executives interviewed, and points out salient recent trends in foreign direct investment in the United States. Divided into five parts, the volume begins by defining the objectives of the study and its research methodology. Part 2 examines management strategies, exploring the factors that influenced the investment decisions of the 20 companies in the study and delineating the operational strategies that guided manufacturing operations subsequent to plant start-ups. In Part 3, the author covers the plant location decision-making process, while Part 4 provides a company profile for each of the 20 foreign affiliates under study. The final section summarizes the research findings and presents the author's conclusions. In addition to comparing the present findings with previous work, the author also addresses the implications of his results for business executives, economic development professionals, and government policy makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With stagnated demand in many home economies, the need to internationalize and exploit foreign market opportunities has never been more paramount for businesses to succeed at a global level.

How should firms handle cultural and institutional differences between markets? This textbook provides students with the core research in international business and strategy, including organization, efficiency, external relationships and the challenges found in an increasingly multicultural world. Each part begins with a presentation of the issues and controversies faced in that particular area, followed by a synthesis of the research which provides avenues for future research. To facilitate and encourage further debate and learning, each part also includes at least one original case study. Compiled by two of the World's leading scholars of international business, and supplemented with critical commentaries and a range of integrative case studies, this comprehensive textbook provides advanced students of international business and strategy with a resource that will be invaluable in their studies and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caribbean countries of Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad-Tobago represent excellent examples of the increasingly important role played by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in less developed, micro-economies. The increased dependence of these countries on FDI, however, calls into question the attractiveness of the business environment of the region to the foreign investor. This volume examines both the investment behaviour and corporate strategies operating in these three countries, and assesses the factors which influence the motivations, location choices and market entry mode of multinationals making investments in the Caribbean.
