Recommended: The pros and cons of FDI in developing countries

In order to encourage FDI, government policy is viewed as necessary. It is detrimental to international trade as a whole? What about the impact on the countries involved.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a venture made by an organization or element situated in one nation, into an organization or substance situated in an alternate nation. Outside immediate ventures vary generously from aberrant speculations, for example, portfolio streams, wherein abroad establishments put resources into values recorded on a country's stock trade. Elements making immediate ventures commonly have a huge level of impact and control over the organization into which the speculation is made. Open economies with talented workforces and great development prospects have a tendency to pull in bigger measures of outside immediate financing than shut, profoundly managed economies.

Foreign investment brings higher wages, and is a major source of technology transfer and managerial skills in host developing nations. This contributes to rising prosperity in the developing nations concerned, as well as enhancing demand for higher value-added exports from advanced economies. – OECD Policy Brief, No. 6, 1998

...tors such as retailing, the news media, and banking, which have remained crippled by archaic policies. To ensure that India’s economic growth reaches the whole nation, the government needs to reform its agriculture industry in order to generate jobs in rural areas.

India has made great progress, but further efforts will be needed to sustain its economic growth. With a rapidly rising population, India faces the challenge of creating millions of jobs to keep its people out of poverty. It remains to be seen whether India’s government, private sector and society at large will demonstrate the political will needed to work together and make this occur.

  • Analysis Of Not Again By Arundhati Roy

    1022 Words  | 3 Pages

    Though the world economy as a whole has grown in recent years, a factor that is not taken into account is that the number “of the poor in the world has increased by 100 million” (Roy 3). In other words, the gap between rich and poor is widening. For India, this has startling implications. Though it is a nation that is developing in many ways, it also is a nation blessed with over one billion citizens, a population tally that continues to grow at a rapid rate. This population increase will greatly tax resources, which can create a setback in the development process. The tragedy, of course, is that the world is full of resources and wealth. In fact, Roy quotes a statistic showing that corporations, and not even just countries, represent 51 of the 100 largest economies in the world (Roy 3). For a country struggling to develop, such information is disheartening. However, there is also a more nefarious consequence of the growing disparity between rich and poor, and power and money being concentrated in the hands of multinational corporations: war is propagated in the name of resource acquisition, and corruption can reign as multinationals seek confederates in developing countries that will help companies drive through their plans, resulting in not only environmental destruction but also the subversion of democracy (Roy 3).

  • Critique of the Internalization Theory and Eclectic Paradigm

    1789 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the most well accepted models of FDI is Buckley and Casson’s (1976) internalisation theory, who developed a model of MNCs and FDIs centered around the interrelationship between market imperfections, knowledge and the internalisation of production and consumption (Buckley and Casson, 2009). Specifically, the theory recognized that multinational corporations are both horizontally and vertically organized, and that the “the vertically integrated firm internalises a market for an intermediate product, just as the horizontal MNE [multinational enterprise] internalises markets for proprietary assets” (Caves, 1996: p.13). In addition, internalisation will occur, and multinational corporations will expand only as far as the advantages, including barriers to entry, are not offset by the costs of control, communi...

  • Jesse Williams Speech

    His primary emotion that he appeals to is frustration and anger. He states, “yesterday would have been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday so I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on 12 year old playing alone in the park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich. Tell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better than it is to live in 2012 than it is to live in 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Dorian Hunt.” Jesse Williams strategically names those unjustly treated by the law enforcement and states that not much has changed since slave labor times, which is how the black community feels. He matches the frustration of everyday people who are not as well off as the A-List stars in the room. This helps him to continue to be successful in pushing his change objective. He tapped into frustration, grief, and anger. Negative emotions are easier to create than positive ones. These emotions conjured up will be the driving force in continuing Williams’s efforts. Williams goes on to say, “There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven’t done. There is no tax they haven’t leveed against us – and we’ve paid all of them. But freedom is somehow always conditional here.”

    Our nation was founded on agriculture, and for hundreds of years we were able to migrate across the nation bringing our farming tools and techniques with us. Technology has driven populations away from rural areas towards industrialized cities. With money now being pumped into cities, rural farmers are suffering the most. Farmers are taking out large loans in order to sustain their farms, leading to debt and in some cases suicide. Patel spoke about a farmer in India whose husband took his life because he was unable to live with the amount of debt from his struggling farm. This man left his wife and chi...

    This is necessary as the vast majority of individuals migrating from rural to urban centers has been steadily increasing with the level of economic growth seen within the past twenty years as mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, this situation has further shown the structural issues and inequalities of cities, as most migrants end up having a poor quality of life living in informal settlements as highlight substantially by Boo. As a means of tackling this, however, the Indian government has turned its focus on investing rural regions, developing the agricultural sector. Specifically, Boo mentions that “the prime minister, Manmohan Singh, had come down from Delhi to express his concern for the farmers’ hardships, and the central government’s determination to relieve it” (p. 138). While this is definitely important funds are not being divided justly. For starters, between rural and urban areas almost all investments are being targeting towards rural regions, which is only addressing issues of inequality in one section of the country. Furthermore, across rural areas inequalities of investment are quite often overlooked. Although, “one of the governments hopes was to stop villagers from abandoning their farms and further inundating cities like Mumbai, but Asha’s relatives knew nothing of these celebrated relief programs” (p. 138). Therefore, even though

This situation seems to depict that predicted by the Dependency theory in which the developed countries progressed due to the exploitation of peripheral nations; the same seems to be happening in India. The states that are wealthier are exploiting the poorer states. It would be difficult to imagine India having the economic status that it now has, if it was not for the terrible working conditions and wages at which the Indians are willing to work and the massive work force available in the country. Now that India has seen economic growth the government should start taking care of its citizens by implementing policies that protect the labor rights of the workforce.
