{{For|the term in computing|Internationalization and localization}}
 
In economics, '''internationalization''' has been viewed as a process of increasing involvement of enterprises in international markets,<ref name="susman01">{{cite book |others= Welch & Luostarinen, 1988 |title= Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and the Global Economy |last= Susman |first= Gerald I. |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2007 |publisher= [[Edward Elgar Publishing]] |location= |isbn= 1-84542-595-2 |page= 281 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=6TUuXQifwxoC&printsec=frontcover#PPA281,M1 }}</ref> although there is no agreed definition of internationalization<ref name="susman02">{{cite book |others= Bell & Young, 1998 |title= Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and the Global Economy |last= Susman |first= Gerald I. |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2007 |publisher= Edward Elgar Publishing |location= |isbn= 1-84542-595-2 |page= 281 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=6TUuXQifwxoC&printsec=frontcover#PPA281,M1 }}</ref> or international entrepreneurship.<ref name="susman03">{{cite book |others= Young et al., 2003 |title= Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and the Global Economy |last= Susman |first= Gerald I. |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2007 |publisher= Edward Elgar Publishing |location= |isbn= 1-84542-595-2 |page= 281 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=6TUuXQifwxoC&printsec=frontcover#PPA281,M1 }}</ref> There are several internationalization theories which try to explain why there are international activities.
 
==Entrepreneurs/Enterprises==
Those entrepreneurs who are interested in the field of internationalization of business need to possess the ability to think globally and have an understanding of international cultures.  By appreciating and understanding different beliefs, values, behaviors and business strategies of a variety of companies within other countries, entrepreneurs will be able to internationalize successfully.  Entrepreneurs must also have an ongoing concern for innovation, maintaining a high level of quality, be committed to [[corporate social responsibility]], and continue to strive to provide the best business strategies and either goods or services possible while adapting to different countries and cultures.
 
== Trade theories ==
 
=== Absolute cost advantage <small>''([[Adam Smith]], 1776)''</small> ===
{{main|Absolute advantage}}
Adam Smith claimed that a country should specialise in, and export, commodities in which it had an absolute advantage.<ref name="ingham">{{cite book |title= International economics: a European focus |last= Ingham |first= Barbara |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2004 |publisher= Pearson Education |location= |isbn= 0-273-65507-8 |pages= 336 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=zIaS9R7HUGIC&printsec=frontcover#PPT37,M1 }}</ref> An absolute advantage existed when the country could produce a commodity with less costs per unit produced than could its trading partner.<ref name="ingham" /> By the same reasoning, it should import commodities in which it had an absolute disadvantage.<ref name="ingham" />
 
While there are possible [[gains from trade]] with absolute advantage, comparative advantage extends the range of possible mutually beneficial exchanges. In other words it is not necessary to have an absolute advantage to gain from trade, only a comparative advantage.
 
=== Comparative cost advantage <small>''([[David Ricardo]], 1817)''</small> ===
{{main|Comparative advantage|Ricardian economics}}
David Ricardo argued that a country does not need to have an absolute advantage in the production of any commodity for international trade between it and another country to be mutually beneficial.<ref name="hunt">{{cite book |title= History of economic thought: A critical perspective |last= Hunt |first= E. K. |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2002 |publisher= M.E. Sharpe |location= |isbn= 0-7656-0607-0 |page= 120 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=_qHKFNwhahoC&printsec=frontcover#PPA120,M1}}</ref> Absolute advantage meant greater efficiency in production, or the use of less labor factor in production.<ref name="hunt" /> Two countries could both benefit from trade if each had a relative advantage in production.<ref name="hunt" /> Relative advantage simply meant that the ratio of the labor embodied in the two commodities differed between two countries, such that each country would have at least one commoditiy where the relative amount of labor embodied would be less than that of the other country.<ref name="hunt" />
 
=== Gravity model of trade <small>''([[Walter Isard]], 1954)''</small> ===
{{main|Gravity model of trade}}
The gravity model of trade in [[international economics]], similar to other [[gravity model]]s in [[social science]], predicts bilateral trade flows based on the economic sizes of (often using [[GDP]] measurements) and distance between two units. The basic theoretical model for trade between two countries takes the form of:
 
:<math>F_{ij} = G \frac{M_i M_j}{D_{ij}}</math>
 
with:
 
:<math>F \,</math>: '''Trade flow'''
 
:<math>i, j \,</math>: '''Country i and j'''
 
:<math>M \,</math>: '''Economic mass''', for example GDP
 
:<math>D \,</math>: '''Distance'''
 
:<math>G \,</math>: '''Constant'''
 
The model has also been used in [[international relations]] to evaluate the impact of treaties and alliances on trade, and it has been used to test the effectiveness of trade agreements and organizations such as the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA) and the [[World Trade Organization]] (WTO).
 
=== Heckscher-Ohlin model <small>''([[Eli Heckscher]], 1966 & [[Bertil Ohlin]], 1952)''</small> ===
{{main|Heckscher-Ohlin model}}
The Heckscher-Ohlin model (H-O model), also known as the ''factors proportions development'', is a [[general equilibrium]] mathematical model of [[International economics|international trade]], developed by [[Eli Heckscher]] and [[Bertil Ohlin]] at the [[Stockholm School of Economics]]. It builds on [[David Ricardo|David Ricardo's]] theory of [[comparative advantage]] by predicting patterns of commerce and production based on the [[Factors of production|factor]] endowments of a trading region. The model essentially says that countries will export products that utilize their abundant and cheap factor(s) of production and import products that utilize the countries' scarce factor(s).<ref name="blaug">{{cite book |title= The methodology of economics, or, How economists explain |last= Blaug |first= Mark |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 1992 |publisher= Cambridge University Press |location= |isbn= 0-521-43678-8 |page= 190 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=T4y7HyduGnIC&printsec=frontcover#PPA190,M1}}</ref>
 
The results of this work has been the formulation of certain named conclusions arising from the assumptions inherent in the model. These are known as:
 
* [[Heckscher-Ohlin theorem]]
* [[Rybczynski theorem]]
* [[Stolper-Samuelson theorem]]
* [[Factor price equalization|Factor-Price Equalization theorem]]
 
=== Leontief paradox <small>''([[Wassily Leontief]], 1954)''</small> ===
{{main|Leontief paradox}}
Leontief's paradox in [[economics]] is that the country with the world's highest [[Capital (economics)|capital]]-per worker has a ''lower'' [[Capital intensive|capital:labour ratio]] in [[exports]] than in imports.
 
This [[econometric]] find was the result of Professor [[Wassily W. Leontief]]'s attempt to test the [[Heckscher-Ohlin theorem|Heckscher-Ohlin theory]] empirically. In 1954, Leontief found that the [[United States|U.S.]] (the most [[Factor endowment|capital-abundant]] country in the world by any criteria) exported [[Labour (economics)|labor]]-intensive commodities and imported capital-intensive commodities, in contradiction with Heckscher-Ohlin theory.
 
=== Linder hypothesis <small>''([[Staffan Burenstam Linder]], 1961)''</small> ===
{{main|Linder hypothesis}}
The Linder hypothesis (demand-structure hypothesis) is a [[conjecture]] in economics about [[international trade]] patterns. The hypothesis is that the more similar are the demand structures of countries the more they will trade with one another. Further, international trade will still occur between two countries having identical [[preferences]] and [[factor endowment]]s (relying on [[Specialization (functional)|specialization]] to create a [[comparative advantage]] in the production of [[Product differentiation|differentiated]] goods between the two nations).
 
=== Location theory ===
{{main|Location theory}}
Location theory is concerned with the geographic location of economic activity; it has become an integral part of [[economic geography]], [[regional science]], and spatial economics. Location theory addresses the questions of what economic activities are located where and why. Location theory rests &mdash; like [[microeconomics|microeconomic theory]] generally &mdash; on the assumption that agents act in their own self-interest. Thus firms choose locations that maximize their profits and individuals choose locations, that maximize their utility.
 
=== Market imperfection theory <small>''([[Stephen Hymer]], 1976 & [[Charles P. Kindleberger]], 1969 & [[Richard E. Caves]], 1971)''</small> ===
{{main|Market failure}}
In economics, a market failure is a situation wherein the allocation of [[Production, costs, and pricing|production]] or use of [[goods and services]] by the [[free market]] is not [[Efficiency (economics)|efficient]]. Market failures can be viewed as scenarios where individuals' pursuit of pure self-interest leads to results that can be improved upon from the societal point-of-view.<ref name="krugman">Krugman, Paul, Wells, Robin, ''Economics'', Worth Publishers, New York, (2006)</ref> The first known use of the term by economists was in 1958,<ref name="Bator">{{cite journal |last= Bator |first= Francis M. |title= The Anatomy of Market Failure |journal= The Quarterly Journal of Economics |volume= 72 |date=August 1958 |pages= 351–379 |doi= 10.2307/1882231 |jstor= 1882231 |issue= 3 |publisher= The MIT Press}}</ref> but the concept has been traced back to the Victorian philosopher [[Henry Sidgwick]].<ref name="Medema">{{cite web |url= http://www.utilitarian.net/sidgwick/about/2004070102.pdf |title= Mill, Sidgwick, and the Evolution of the Theory of Market Failure |accessdate= 2007-06-23 |last= Medema |first= Steven G. |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= 2004 |month= July }}</ref>
 
Market imperfection can be defined as anything that interferes with trade.<ref name="degennaro">{{cite web |url= http://www.frbatlanta.org/filelegacydocs/wp0512.pdf |title= Market Imperfections |accessdate= 2009-03-17 |last= DeGennaro |first= Ramon P. |coauthors= |date= December 2005 |work= Working Paper |publisher= Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta - Working Paper Series}}</ref> This includes two dimensions of imperfections.<ref name="degennaro" /> First, imperfections cause a rational market participant to deviate from holding the market portfolio.<ref name="degennaro" /> Second, imperfections cause a rational market participant to deviate from his preferred risk level.<ref name="degennaro" /> Market imperfections generate costs which interfere with trades that rational individuals make (or would make in the absence of the imperfection).<ref name="degennaro" />
 
The idea that [[multinational corporation]]s (MNEs) owe their existence to market imperfections was first put forward by [[Stephen Hymer]], [[Charles P. Kindleberger]] and Caves.<ref name="pitelis1">{{cite book |others= [[Stephen Hymer|Hymer]] (1960, published in 1976), [[Charles P. Kindleberger|Kindleberger]] (1969) & Caves (1971) |title= The nature of the transnational firm |last= Pitelis |first= Christos |authorlink= |coauthors= Roger Sugden |year= 2000 |publisher= Routledge |location= |isbn= 0-415-16787-6 |page= 74 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=mXjeiQYR088C&printsec=frontcover#PPA74,M1}}</ref> The market imperfections they had in mind were, however, ''structural'' imperfections in markets for final products.<ref name="pitelis" />
 
According to Hymer, market imperfections are structural, arising from structural deviations from perfect competition in the final product market due to exclusive and permanent control of proprietary technology, privileged access to inputs, scale economies, control of distribution systems, and product differentiation,<ref name="pitelis4">{{cite book |others= [[Joe S. Bain|Bain]] (1956) |title= The nature of the transnational firm |last= Pitelis |first= Christos |authorlink= |coauthors= Roger Sugden |year= 2000 |publisher= Routledge |location= |isbn= 0-415-16787-6 |page= 74 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=mXjeiQYR088C&printsec=frontcover#PPA74,M1}}</ref> but in their absence markets are perfectly efficient.<ref name="pitelis">{{cite book |title= The nature of the transnational firm |last= Pitelis |first= Christos |authorlink= |coauthors= Roger Sugden |year= 2000 |publisher= Routledge |location= |isbn= 0-415-16787-6 |pages= 224 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=mXjeiQYR088C&printsec=frontcover#PPA73,M1}}</ref>
 
By contrast, the insight of transaction costs theories of the MNEs, simultaneously and independently developed in the 1970s by McManus (1972), Buckley and Casson (1976), Brown (1976) and Hennart (1977, 1982), is that ''market imperfections'' are inherent attributes of markets, and MNEs are institutions to bypass these imperfections.<ref name="pitelis" /> Markets experience natural imperfections, i.e. imperfections that are because the implicit neoclassical assumptions of perfect knowledge and perfect enforcement are not realized.<ref name="pitelis5">{{cite book |others= [[John Harry Dunning|Dunning]] & Rugman (1985), Teece (1981) |title= The nature of the transnational firm |last= Pitelis |first= Christos |authorlink= |coauthors= Roger Sugden |year= 2000 |publisher= Routledge |location= |isbn= 0-415-16787-6 |page= 74 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=mXjeiQYR088C&printsec=frontcover#PPA74,M1}}</ref>
 
=== New Trade Theory ===
{{main|New Trade Theory}}
New Trade Theory (NTT) is the economic critique of international free trade from the perspective of increasing [[returns to scale]] and the [[network effect]]. Some economists have asked whether it might be effective for a nation to shelter infant industries until they had grown to a sufficient size large enough to compete internationally.
 
New Trade theorists challenge the assumption of diminishing returns to scale, and some argue that using protectionist measures to build up a huge industrial base in certain industries will then allow those sectors to dominate the world market (via a network effect).
 
=== Specific factors model ===
{{main|International trade#Specific factors model}}
In this model, labour mobility between industries is possible while capital is immobile between industries in the short-run. Thus, this model can be interpreted as a 'short run' version of the [[Heckscher-Ohlin model]].

=== Diamond model <small>''([[Michael Porter]])''</small> ===
{{main|Diamond model}}
The diamond model is an economical model developed by [[Michael Porter]] in his book ''The Competitive Advantage of Nations'', where he published his theory of why particular industries become competitive in particular locations.<ref name="traill">{{cite book |others= |title= Competitiveness in the Food Industry |last= Traill |first= Bruce |authorlink= |coauthors= Eamonn Pitts |year= 1998 |publisher= Springer |location= |isbn= 0-7514-0431-4 |pages= 301 |url= http://books.google.com/?id=-g_iw4ocyAgC&printsec=frontcover#PPA17,M1 }}</ref>
 
The diamond model consists of six factors:<ref name="traill" />
 
* Factor conditions
* Demand conditions
* Related and supporting industries
* Firm strategy, structure and rivalry
* Government
* Chance
 
The Porter thesis is that these factors interact with each other to create conditions where innovation and improved competitiveness occurs.<ref name="traill" />
 
=== Diffusion of innovations <small>''(Rogers, 1962)''</small> ===
{{main|Diffusion of innovations}}
Diffusion of innovation is a theory of how, why, and at what rate new ideas and [[technology]] spread through cultures. [[Everett Rogers]] introduced it in his 1962 book, ''Diffusion of Innovations'', writing that "Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system."<ref>Rogers, Everett M. (2003).''Diffusion of Innovations'', 5th ed.. New York, NY: Free Press.</ref>

This process is called ''internalization''.<ref name="falkenhahn" />
 
For Dunning, not only the structure of organization is important.<ref name="falkenhahn" /> He added three additional factors to the theory:<ref name="falkenhahn" />
 
* Ownership advantages<ref name="hagen" /> (trademark, production technique, entrepreneurial skills, returns to scale)<ref name="twomey" />
* Locational advantages (existence of raw materials, low wages, special taxes or tariffs)<ref name="twomey" />
* Internalisation advantages (advantages by producing through a partnership arrangement such as licensing or a joint venture)<ref name="twomey" />
 
=== Foreign direct investment theory ===
{{main|Foreign direct investment}}
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in its classic form is defined as a company from one country making a physical investment into building a factory in another country. It is the establishment of an enterprise by a foreigner.<ref name="sullivan01">{{cite book |last = Sullivan |first = Arthur |authorlink = |coauthors = Steven M.

In order to qualify as FDI the investment must afford the parent enterprise ''control'' over its foreign affiliate. The [[International Monetary Fund]] (IMF) defines control in this case as owning 10% or more of the ordinary shares or voting power of an [[Incorporation (business)|incorporated]] firm or its equivalent for an unincorporated firm; lower ownership shares are known as [[portfolio investment]].<ref>[[International Monetary Fund]], 1993.

Revision as of 22:02, 13 October 2013

28 year-old Painting Investments Worker Truman from Regina, usually spends time with pastimes for instance interior design, property developers in new launch ec Singapore and writing. Last month just traveled to City of the Renaissance.

In economics, internationalization has been viewed as a process of increasing involvement of enterprises in international markets,[1] although there is no agreed definition of internationalization[2] or international entrepreneurship.[3] There are several internationalization theories which try to explain why there are international activities.

Entrepreneurs/Enterprises

Those entrepreneurs who are interested in the field of internationalization of business need to possess the ability to think globally and have an understanding of international cultures. By appreciating and understanding different beliefs, values, behaviors and business strategies of a variety of companies within other countries, entrepreneurs will be able to internationalize successfully. Entrepreneurs must also have an ongoing concern for innovation, maintaining a high level of quality, be committed to corporate social responsibility, and continue to strive to provide the best business strategies and either goods or services possible while adapting to different countries and cultures.

Trade theories

Absolute cost advantage (Adam Smith, 1776)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. Adam Smith claimed that a country should specialise in, and export, commodities in which it had an absolute advantage.[4] An absolute advantage existed when the country could produce a commodity with less costs per unit produced than could its trading partner.[4] By the same reasoning, it should import commodities in which it had an absolute disadvantage.[4]

While there are possible gains from trade with absolute advantage, comparative advantage extends the range of possible mutually beneficial exchanges. In other words it is not necessary to have an absolute advantage to gain from trade, only a comparative advantage.

Comparative cost advantage (David Ricardo, 1817)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. David Ricardo argued that a country does not need to have an absolute advantage in the production of any commodity for international trade between it and another country to be mutually beneficial.[5] Absolute advantage meant greater efficiency in production, or the use of less labor factor in production.[5] Two countries could both benefit from trade if each had a relative advantage in production.[5] Relative advantage simply meant that the ratio of the labor embodied in the two commodities differed between two countries, such that each country would have at least one commoditiy where the relative amount of labor embodied would be less than that of the other country.[5]

Gravity model of trade (Walter Isard, 1954)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The gravity model of trade in international economics, similar to other gravity models in social science, predicts bilateral trade flows based on the economic sizes of (often using GDP measurements) and distance between two units. The basic theoretical model for trade between two countries takes the form of:

Fij=GMiMjDij

with:

F: Trade flow
i,j: Country i and j
M: Economic mass, for example GDP
D: Distance
G: Constant

The model has also been used in international relations to evaluate the impact of treaties and alliances on trade, and it has been used to test the effectiveness of trade agreements and organizations such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Heckscher-Ohlin model (Eli Heckscher, 1966 & Bertil Ohlin, 1952)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The Heckscher-Ohlin model (H-O model), also known as the factors proportions development, is a general equilibrium mathematical model of international trade, developed by Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin at the Stockholm School of Economics. It builds on David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage by predicting patterns of commerce and production based on the factor endowments of a trading region. The model essentially says that countries will export products that utilize their abundant and cheap factor(s) of production and import products that utilize the countries' scarce factor(s).[6]

The results of this work has been the formulation of certain named conclusions arising from the assumptions inherent in the model. These are known as:

Leontief paradox (Wassily Leontief, 1954)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. Leontief's paradox in economics is that the country with the world's highest capital-per worker has a lower capital:labour ratio in exports than in imports.

This econometric find was the result of Professor Wassily W. Leontief's attempt to test the Heckscher-Ohlin theory empirically. In 1954, Leontief found that the U.S. (the most capital-abundant country in the world by any criteria) exported labor-intensive commodities and imported capital-intensive commodities, in contradiction with Heckscher-Ohlin theory.

Linder hypothesis (Staffan Burenstam Linder, 1961)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The Linder hypothesis (demand-structure hypothesis) is a conjecture in economics about international trade patterns. The hypothesis is that the more similar are the demand structures of countries the more they will trade with one another. Further, international trade will still occur between two countries having identical preferences and factor endowments (relying on specialization to create a comparative advantage in the production of differentiated goods between the two nations).

Location theory

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. Location theory is concerned with the geographic location of economic activity; it has become an integral part of economic geography, regional science, and spatial economics. Location theory addresses the questions of what economic activities are located where and why. Location theory rests — like microeconomic theory generally — on the assumption that agents act in their own self-interest. Thus firms choose locations that maximize their profits and individuals choose locations, that maximize their utility.

Market imperfection theory (Stephen Hymer, 1976 & Charles P. Kindleberger, 1969 & Richard E. Caves, 1971)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. In economics, a market failure is a situation wherein the allocation of production or use of goods and services by the free market is not efficient. Market failures can be viewed as scenarios where individuals' pursuit of pure self-interest leads to results that can be improved upon from the societal point-of-view.[7] The first known use of the term by economists was in 1958,[8] but the concept has been traced back to the Victorian philosopher Henry Sidgwick.[9]

Market imperfection can be defined as anything that interferes with trade.[10] This includes two dimensions of imperfections.[10] First, imperfections cause a rational market participant to deviate from holding the market portfolio.[10] Second, imperfections cause a rational market participant to deviate from his preferred risk level.[10] Market imperfections generate costs which interfere with trades that rational individuals make (or would make in the absence of the imperfection).[10]

The idea that multinational corporations (MNEs) owe their existence to market imperfections was first put forward by Stephen Hymer, Charles P. Kindleberger and Caves.[11] The market imperfections they had in mind were, however, structural imperfections in markets for final products.[12]

According to Hymer, market imperfections are structural, arising from structural deviations from perfect competition in the final product market due to exclusive and permanent control of proprietary technology, privileged access to inputs, scale economies, control of distribution systems, and product differentiation,[13] but in their absence markets are perfectly efficient.[12]

By contrast, the insight of transaction costs theories of the MNEs, simultaneously and independently developed in the 1970s by McManus (1972), Buckley and Casson (1976), Brown (1976) and Hennart (1977, 1982), is that market imperfections are inherent attributes of markets, and MNEs are institutions to bypass these imperfections.[12] Markets experience natural imperfections, i.e. imperfections that are because the implicit neoclassical assumptions of perfect knowledge and perfect enforcement are not realized.[14]

New Trade Theory

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. New Trade Theory (NTT) is the economic critique of international free trade from the perspective of increasing returns to scale and the network effect. Some economists have asked whether it might be effective for a nation to shelter infant industries until they had grown to a sufficient size large enough to compete internationally.

New Trade theorists challenge the assumption of diminishing returns to scale, and some argue that using protectionist measures to build up a huge industrial base in certain industries will then allow those sectors to dominate the world market (via a network effect).

Specific factors model

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. In this model, labour mobility between industries is possible while capital is immobile between industries in the short-run. Thus, this model can be interpreted as a 'short run' version of the Heckscher-Ohlin model.

Traditional approaches

The Porter diamond[15]

Diamond model (Michael Porter)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The diamond model is an economical model developed by Michael Porter in his book The Competitive Advantage of Nations, where he published his theory of why particular industries become competitive in particular locations.[16]

The diamond model consists of six factors:[16]

  • Factor conditions
  • Demand conditions
  • Related and supporting industries
  • Firm strategy, structure and rivalry
  • Government
  • Chance

The Porter thesis is that these factors interact with each other to create conditions where innovation and improved competitiveness occurs.[16]

Diffusion of innovations (Rogers, 1962)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. Diffusion of innovation is a theory of how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures. Everett Rogers introduced it in his 1962 book, Diffusion of Innovations, writing that "Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system."[17]

Eclectic paradigm (John H. Dunning)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The eclectic paradigm is a theory in economics and is also known as the OLI-Model.[18][19] It is a further development of the theory of internalization and published by John H. Dunning in 1980.[20] The theory of internalization itself is based on the transaction cost theory.[20] This theory says that transactions are made within an institution if the transaction costs on the free market are higher than the internal costs. This process is called internalization.[20]

For Dunning, not only the structure of organization is important.[20] He added three additional factors to the theory:[20]

  • Ownership advantages[18] (trademark, production technique, entrepreneurial skills, returns to scale)[19]
  • Locational advantages (existence of raw materials, low wages, special taxes or tariffs)[19]
  • Internalisation advantages (advantages by producing through a partnership arrangement such as licensing or a joint venture)[19]

Foreign direct investment theory

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. Foreign direct investment (FDI) in its classic form is defined as a company from one country making a physical investment into building a factory in another country. It is the establishment of an enterprise by a foreigner.[21] Its definition can be extended to include investments made to acquire lasting interest in enterprises operating outside of the economy of the investor.[22] The FDI relationship consists of a parent enterprise and a foreign affiliate which together form a multinational corporation (MNC). In order to qualify as FDI the investment must afford the parent enterprise control over its foreign affiliate. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) defines control in this case as owning 10% or more of the ordinary shares or voting power of an incorporated firm or its equivalent for an unincorporated firm; lower ownership shares are known as portfolio investment.[23]

Monopolistic advantage theory (Stephen Hymer)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The monopolistic advantage theory is an approach in international business which explain why firms can compete in foreign settings against indigenous competitors[24] and is frequently associated with the seminal contribution of Stephen Hymer.[25]

Non-availability approach (Irving B. Kravis, 1956)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The non-availability explains international trade by the fact that each country imports the goods that are not available at home.[26] This unavailability may be due to lack of natural resources (oil, gold, etc.: this is absolute unavailability) or to the fact that the goods cannot be produced domestically, or could only be produced at prohibitive costs (for technological or other reasons): this is relative unavailability.[27] On the other hand, each country exports the goods that are available at home.[27]

Technology gap theory of trade (Posner)

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The technology gap theory describes an advantage enjoyed by the country that introduces new goods in a market.[27] As a consequence of research activity and entrepreneurship, new goods are produced and the innovating country enjoys a monopoly until the other countries learn to produce these goods: in the meantime they have to import them.[27] Thus, international trade is created for the time necessary to imitate the new goods (imitation lag).[27]

Uppsala model

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. The Uppsala model[28] is a theory that explains how firms gradually intensify their activities in foreign markets.[29] It is similar to the POM model.[30] The key features of both models are the following: firms first gain experience from the domestic market before they move to foreign markets; firms start their foreign operations from culturally and/or geographically close countries and move gradually to culturally and geographically more distant countries; firms start their foreign operations by using traditional exports and gradually move to using more intensive and demanding operation modes (sales subsidiaries etc.) both at the company and target country level.[31]
