While there have been many literature reviews devoted to firm internationalisation and foreign direct investment (FDI) as one of the forms thereof, the objective of the present volume is to reflect on the implications of existing theoretical concepts for economic consequences of undertaking foreign expansion. In fact, economic sciences deal with the allocation of scarce resources, therefore performance is an important aspect of firm operations, of both theoretical and managerial relevance. The book provides an overview of concepts explaining FDI, with a critical evaluation of their ability to account for FDI performance. Subsequently, it provides a link between FDI literature and concepts pertaining to firm competitiveness by proposing a novel conceptual approach. Finally, the findings of a quantitative analysis based on earlier studies of FDI performance are presented in order to critically reflect on factors determining the outcomes of foreign expansion. The book presents the conceptual part of the doctoral dissertation written within a research project financed by the National Science Centre (grant DEC-2012/07/N/HS4/00283).

"Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) studies have evolved as one of the mainstreams in business strategy. This book presents a comprehensive perspective on the motivations behind the studies, the effects of FDI, and how it can be utilized and extended to other areas of studies. Written with a global perspective, this book not only touches upon business strategies but also covers government policies toward promoting and attracting FDI for industrial and economic development. The author, with his vast experience in consulting and research projects for multinational companies, international organizations and governments, examines real world business practices of Eastern firms and how they relate to their Western counterparts, thus making this book a valuable and practical reference not only for students, but for practitioners, too."--
