Introduction
has been investigated from many perspectives (e.g. Hakanson and Nobel,
2000; Furu, 2000; Granstrand, 1999; Pearce, 1999b; Papanastassiou and
Pearce, 1997a, b; Kuemmerle, 1999).
Distribution
for the separate elements of the FDI package negated the advocated
possibility of “unpackaging” FDI and thereby allowed firms to earn
monopoly rents on their technology, skills, etc.
12 It is also unlikely that attempts to agree on imputation of ex post
Sovereignty
that the benefits of globalization cannot be fully and fairly achieved without
adequate adjustment mechanisms (and welfare-support systems) operated
internally by national governments. But the bargaining postures of TNCs
(as potentially positive agents in globalization) may oppose or constrain
the ability of governments to fund, or perhaps even to advocate, the forms
of interventionism involved.
17 The ways in which the broad trade policy context, and particular
details of its implementation, affect the extent and form of FDI in India and
China, are evaluated by Balasubramaniam and Mahambre (2003, pp. 55-
60).
18 As Balasubramaniam, Salisu and Sapsford (1996, pp. 96) observe
influence the behaviour of, TNC operations it can be considered that some
form of bargaining power has imposed itself.
