of volume 24 in the “Advances in International Management” book
series:
Dynamics of Globalization:
Location-Specific Advantages or Liabilities of Foreignness?
Editors: Christian Geisler Asmussen, Torben Pedersen,
Timothy M. Devinney, Laszlo Tihanyi
ISBN: 9780857249913
Synopsis
Cross-border flows of goods,
services, capital, knowledge, and ideas have substantially increased over the
last decades. These developments have increased the interdependencies among
previously separated economies, given rise to arguments regarding the
flattening of the world. Yet, firms investing overseas continue to experience
substantial liabilities stemming from their foreignness. At the same time new
locations are appearing on the global map that offers very attractive
location-specific advantages. In addition, the range of participants in
international competition has widened, in terms of both the number of countries
involved and the types of firms competing, to encompass developed market firms
expanding beyond industrialized countries, and emerging market firms joining
global competition. The focus of this volume is on how the interface between
firm-specific advantages, liability of foreignness, and location-specific
advantages are spelled out in the more global world.
