About the product

Rapid technical progress is driving sweeping changes in the global economy. This publication makes a contribution to the debate o how developing countries are facing the competitiveness challenge and coping with globalization. It traces the role that foreign direct investment (FDI) has played in developing the garments, colour television receivers and automobile industries of Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco and Thailand. It also compares the role that FDI has played in Chile and Zimbabwe, as these countries developed their natural-resources-based industries. The study provides a comprehensive view of the interlocking needs of firms and industries and the macroeconomy.
