MNEs vertical linkages: The experience of Vietnam after Malaysia (2007, methodology): “Vertical linkages in the questionnaire were defined to include both backward and forward linkages (this terminology2 is used similarly by other authors such as Belderbos et al., 2001, Günther, 2005), but this paper focuses on backward linkages and related knowledge and technology transfer.”
Real options and foreign affiliate divestments: A portfolio perspective (2009, background): “…firm to learn about the country environment, build up relationships with local suppliers, customers and government institutions, adapt products and processes to the local circumstances, and generally reduce their ‘liability of foreignness’ (Song, 2002; Belderbos et al, 2001; Chang, 1995).”
Linkages and spillovers in global production networks: firm-level analysis of the Czech automotive industry (2016, background): “…of developing country suppliers into GPNs and GVCs, which are mostly organized by developed country lead firms, has not necessarily lead to the formation of strong linkages between foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms (e.g. Belderbos et al., 2001; Pavlı´nek, 2004; Giuliani et al., 2005).”
The determinants of expatriate staffing by Japanese multinationals in Asia: control, learning and vertical business groups (2005, background): “A contrasting aspect of the role of local keiretsu affiliate networks is that keiretsu firms replicate existing supplier and distribution relationships in the host country, reducing the exposure to the host country environment (Martin et al., 1995, 1998; Belderbos et al., 2001).”
Infrastructure or foreign direct investment?: An examination of the implications of MNE strategy for economic development (2009, background): “Second, an important implication of the paradox we articulate is that current MNE strategies are not only failing in terms of poverty reduction but may not be in the best interest of MNEs themselves as they also benefit from the development of infrastructure in host countries, through, for example, ”
