  • Critique of the Internalization Theory and Eclectic Paradigm

    1789 Words  | 4 Pages

    A Multinational Corporation (MNC) can be defined as “a single entity that controls and manages group of goal-disparate and geographically dispersed productive subsidiaries” (Triandis and Wasti, 2008, p. 2). Multinational corporations are entities that make Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and produce added value in countries other than the country in which they are headquartered. One of the key objectives of the MNC is to obtain capital where is it cheapest and to invest FDI and undertake production in areas that yield the highest rates of return (De Beule and Van Den Bulcke, 2009). However, many theories have been advanced to account for the decision-making process that MNCs undertake in relation to FDI. The purpose of this paper is to explain the two main theories – internalization theory and OLI eclectic paradigm theory – and to critique these in relation to some of the other conceptual models that have been advocated.
