Foreign Direct Investment and Technological Change (en Inglés) - John Cantwell

It has been prepared by one of the leading contributors and pioneers in this field, and is an area of research that has attracted a steady growth in interest over the last thirty years.

After a new introduction which critically surveys the literature, the collection provides a comprehensive coverage that incorporates the early analysis of FDI and technology; the theoretical foundations of the analysis of technological change in multinational firms; theoretical models and empirical studies of technology transfer; the internationalization of technology creation; technology-based inter-company alliances; the co-evolution of FDI and technological development at country level; the geographical localization of the technological efforts of foreign-owned affiliates and technology spillovers between firms.

This comprehensive new collection provides a careful selection of the major writings to have appeared in the field of foreign direct investment (FDI) and technological change since 1966.
