Enron India
What risks did Enron face going into the Dabhol project?
• Political risk: expropriation of investment
• Political risk: renegotiation of contracts after investment
• Contract risk: problems with local partners
• Currency risk
• Market risk: costs of energy and demand for electric power
• Recovery of investment costs (FDI)

Enron India
How did Enron prepare for the risks of the project?
• Long term contracts: purchase agreement, Maharashtra State Electrical Board was a credible buyer
• Political risk: participation of Overseas Private Investment Corp, US Export-Import Bank, International Finance Corp.
• Revenues tied to US dollar
• Partners GE and Bechtel
• Substantial research

Enron India
How could Enron have dealt with risk more effectively?
• Enron could have relied less on FDI
• Enron could have emphasized transactions, making arrangements for construction, power supply contracts, and technology transfer
• More reliance on local partners to construct and operate project
• Greater participation of other Indian institutions

Enron India
Why did Enron choose ownership (FDI)?
• To exercise control over assets in investment projects
• To control technology due to limits on intellectual property rights
• To improve operational effectiveness
• To learn about market for future projects
• To avoid expected contract risk

$651 billion (2002) (Cross-border M&A $ 370 b.)
$560 billion (2003) (Cross-border M&A $ 297 b.)
Compare with world total gross fixed capital formation: $7,294 b.
(2003)

International modes of entry and value at risk
• FDI – whether M&A or company growth – puts full value at risk.
Toyota factory, Wal-Mart store
• Managers of an international business choose the mode of entry based on a trade-off between risk versus control in the particular supplier or customer country
• Joint ventures, not only share knowledge, but also share investment costs and value at risk
• Spot or contract sales can substantially reduce value at risk
![Page 13: Competitive Strategies: Modes of Entry and FDI © Professor Daniel F. Spulber.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dba5503460f94aaa700/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

entand risk
• Choice of entry mode jointly determines degree of control and extent of risk
• Degree of commitment depends on contractual duration and vertical integration
• With less knowledge of other country’s market, choose lower degree of commitment
• As knowledge increases over time, can increase degree of commitment to get closer to desired entry mode.
• Contractual transactions may give optimal mix of control and commitment

Choosing target countries for FDI
• Costs of investment project K
• Estimate potential expected returns V(K)
• Determine risks associated with revenues and costs in host country -- Best estimates of expected cash flow
• Apply appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate r
![Page 15: Competitive Strategies: Modes of Entry and FDI © Professor Daniel F. Spulber.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dba5503460f94aaa700/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Choosing target countries for FDI
Country A
Country X
NPV = - K + VA/(1 + rA)
NPV = - K + VX/(1 + rX)
Manager considers trade off between risk and return

16
Apply NPV analysis to choose target country for FDI
Example: Investment cost is K = $2,000
Investment in Country A yields an expected net cash flow of $12,600 with risk-adjusted discount rate of 20% NPV Country A = $8,500
Investment in Country X yields an expected net cash flow of $13,000 with risk-adjusted discount rate of 30% NPV Country X = $8,000
Invest in Country A

V'(K) = 3.2 – .5K.
1 + 0.2 = 3.2 –.5K*
K* = 4.

Why is FDI so common in international business? Advantages of FDI
• Production or distribution facilities in a country can reduce costs of trade (transportation, tariff and nontariff barriers, transaction costs, and time) – Toyota in US
• Production within a country takes advantage of domestic sourcing of parts, components, services
• Investment and employment in host country gain political support for the international business:
“quid pro quo investment” – Cemex and Southdown
![Page 21: Competitive Strategies: Modes of Entry and FDI © Professor Daniel F. Spulber.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dba5503460f94aaa700/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Why is FDI so common in international business? Advantages of FDI
• Closer to customers for manufacturers
• Necessary for retail and wholesale companies – Wal Mart, Carrefour, Ingram Micro
• Take advantage of low-cost labor, highly-skilled labor, and proximity to resources
• Reduce costs of trade from import/export
![Page 22: Competitive Strategies: Modes of Entry and FDI © Professor Daniel F. Spulber.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dba5503460f94aaa700/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Advantages of vertical FDI
• Coordination advantages through the value chain
• Access to production facilities, sourcing networks and distribution networks
• Keeping technology and intellectual property in-house
• Substitution of internal transactions for market transactions
![Page 23: Competitive Strategies: Modes of Entry and FDI © Professor Daniel F. Spulber.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dba5503460f94aaa700/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Advantages of Horizontal FDI
• M&A acquisition of competitors for market power or cost savings
• M&A to achieve economies of scale and scope (Daimler/Chrysler, VW)
• M&A to purchase of technology
• M&A to acquire brand names
• Production avoids costs of trade relative to export
• As hedge against demand and supply fluctuations -- Cemex
• Market power in international purchasing (e.g. Vodaphone/Airtouch purchases wireless equipment for its many operations)

Disadvantages of FDI
• Risk that firm many not recover investment and returns to investment in supplier country
• FDI increases capital investment, reduces flexibility
• FDI ties business to particular country locations for production or distribution
• Vertical FDI makes the firm more vertically integrated
![Page 25: Competitive Strategies: Modes of Entry and FDI © Professor Daniel F. Spulber.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dba5503460f94aaa700/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

FDI Trends
• Shift of investment mix toward services About half in 1990, about two thirds in 2000
• Shift of investment to outsourcing abroad (offshoring + outsourcing) – reduction in vertical integration
• Globalization (lower costs of trade) leading to reduction in vertical FDI
• Globalization (market integration) likely to lead to increases in horizontal FDI

26
Licensing versus FDI
Why is FDI more prevalent than technology licensing?
• Licensing agreements depend heavily on international enforcement of intellectual property rights
• International licensing also entails costs of trade
• International licensing is quite common amongst developed countries, reaching levels up to 1/3 of domestic R&D expenditures
• International licensing experiencing rapid growth

Overview and Take-Away Points
• FDI a major feature of international business – composition of FDI undergoing transformation – from vertical to horizontal
• FDI offers advantages in terms of ownership and control and avoiding trade barriers
• Choose target countries based on expected cash flow and costs of investment and discount using risk adjusted rate of return
• Adjust level of investment to reflect expected cash flow and risk-adjusted rate of return
