- Summary:
- Contributes to the debate on how developing countries are facing the competitiveness challenge and coping with globalization. Traces the role that foreign direct investment (FDI) has played in developing the garments, color television receiver, and automobile industries in countries including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Thailand, and compares the role that FDI has played in Chile and Zimbabwe as these countries develop their natural-resources-based industries. Looks at the micro-level effect on individual firms, the meso-level impact on the industry, and at macro-level policies adopted by developing country governments. c. Book News Inc.
