Adventurous Foreign Direct Investment
Journal Title: Journal of Management and Business Administration. Central Europe - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of an advanced form of internationalization: foreign direct investment (FDI) in a distant location. We label this transaction “adventurous FDI”, and explain how this new concept is related to, yet distinct from, other widely studied theories: born global companies, the LLL model, and the Uppsala model. We propose a theoretical typology of adventurous FDI based on two critical factors for risktaking: distance and embeddedness.
