Determinants of foreign entry strategies in Greek food industry

Article Abstract:

Ownership, internalization and location variables serve as vital determinants of the subsidiary sales share in the Greek food industry for the period between 1987 and 1992. Data showed that foreign direct investment resulting to subsidiary sales arises whenever internalization and some location advantages coincide with marketing and technology advantages. Specific ownership advantages associated with technological competition serve as important components in the occurrence of licensing.

Locational determinants of the US direct foreign investment in food and kindred products

Article Abstract:

Cultural linkages, trading blocs, host market size, tax considerations, exchange differentials and host market growth rates are significant determinats of US direct foreign investment (DFI) in the food industry. Although research shows that wage rate differentials are important in the position and reinvested equations, they are insignificant in the outflow equation. This suggests that cheap labor does not necessarily attract DFI.
