- Summary:
- A groundbreaking contribution to the literature of foreign investment, this volume is based on an extensive field study conducted under the auspices of the Tayloe Murphy International Business Studies Center at the University of Virginia. This book examines the investment strategies and plant-location decisions of foreign corporations in the United States through in-depth personal interviews with the executives of 20 companies. In addition to identifying the market, cost, and other strategies that influenced the U.S. plant-investment decisions, Haigh analyzes managerial aspects of the plant-location decision-making process, describes specific location factors considered important by the executives interviewed, and points out salient recent trends in foreign direct investment in the United States.
