Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
The ultimate form of foreign involvement
Direct ownership of foreign-based assembly, manufacturing or sales facilities
The company can buy part or full interest in a local company (M&A) or build its own facilities (GFI, ex nihilo)
Considered the “preferred” mode of entry
Advantages and Disadvantages of FDIAdvantages- Cost economies (labor, raw materials, incentives, freight savings,
etc…)- Better image in host country- Deeper relationship with government, customers, local suppliers,
distributors- Better adaptation- Full control of investments- Long term objectives
Disadvantages- High initial and operating costs- High level of risk
FDI OptionsMake-or-buy decision

FDI nowadays
Developing economies absorbed close to half ofglobal FDI inflows
Development of South-South cooperation15% below pre-crisis level
FDI to developed countries continued to declinePoorest regions continued to see declines in FDIFDI to service industries fell: business services,
finance, transport and communications, utilities50% of global FDI – TNC’s market-seeking projects
Associated Entry Modes
Newest, most recent forms of international business
Transfer of technology or know-how between two firms
Shared risks
Only option in countries where the government requires foreign firms to use local capital
Better access to local market knowledge
Types of Associated Entry ModesJoint venture: foreign and local investors share ownership and control of local operationsLicensing: licensor licenses a foreign company to use a manufacturing process, trademark, patent, trade secret or other item of value for a feeManagement contracts: firm exports management services instead of a product, separation between ownership and managementInternational Franchising: contractual association between a franchisor (manufacturer, wholesaler or service organization) and franchisees (independent business people who buy the right to own and operate units in the franchise system). Franchising is based on some unique product, service or method of doing business.
Industrial franchisingDistribution franchisingService franchising
NEM cooperation$2 trillion in sales 2010NEMs include contract manufacturing, services, outsourcing, contract farming, franchising, licensing, management contracts$1.2 trillion – outsourcing, $340 – franchising, $340 -
licensing, $100 – management contractsTNCs make choice between FDI and NEM based on its
strategy, the relative costs and benefits, the associated risks, feasibility of available options
Example of International Franchising Entry ModesDirect modes
Direct franchising (16%)Subsidiary (19%)Area development agreements (14%)
Indirect modesJoint venture (16%)Master franchising (34%)
In the Direct system the franchisor is controlling and coordinating the activities of the franchisees directly. In the indirect system a master franchisee (subfranchisor) is appointer to establish and service its own Subsystem of franchisees within its territory
