碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 企業管理學系碩博士班 / 94 / The strategic movement of Taiwanese high technology firms to China has been developing for several years. TFT-LCD manufactures are motivated to invest in China for both resource-seeking and efficiency-seeking reasons. In the past, foreign direct investment was seen as the final stage of internationalization. Previous literature focused primarily on individual aspects of foreign direct investment. Many of them discussed the motivating forces behind foreign investment, and the factors that attract multinational companies to invest in specific countries.
Country attractiveness, industry differences and firm specific characteristics could all be factors influencing foreign direct investment. This article studies the determinants of foreign direct investment scale and export based performance at the firm level. This study employs multiple regression to analyze quarterly data of 13 TFT-LCD manufacturers from 2003-2005.
The results indicate that those manufacturers who invested in China through vertical foreign direct investment utilize lower production cost and seek location specific advantages. Foreign productions and exports of parent companies are complementary. However, scaled back operations in their home country in order to expand abroad. The technological competence and management competency did not demonstrate a significant relationship with the firms’ export performance.
