碩士 / 國立東華大學 / 國際企業學系 / 94 / In the age of globalization, the distance between countries has become shorten. Going global for business is the only way to keep themselves competitive and successful in the world markets. This study attempts to follow the research structures of Chen (1994) by using Dunning’s eclectic patterns (1973) integrated with the strategic network linkage. An analytical framework of location choice of foreign direct investment (FDI) is developed for Taiwanese manufacturing firms investing in Europe. Key factors affecting their location choices in Europe are determined.
The current literatures mostly are those with firms investing in the U.S., Southeast Asia, and China. However, the European markets have recently become popular for Taiwanese investors because of market integration and expansion within the European Union. This study uses Taiwanese manufacturing firms investing in Europe as samples and analyzes their location choice strategies. It is hopeful that the results of the study can fill the gap of current literatures.
The research methods used in this study include questionnaire survey and case study. Data gathered from the survey are analyzed with statistical tools and information from cases is supplemented to reach conclusions. The results of this study show that in location specific advantage, the cost of production and investment environment are the key factors affecting location choice. In internalization incentive advantage, uncertain contract and the cost of communication are the key factors affecting location choice. Finally, the global synergy in internal linkage and the relation network and supplementary development in external linkage also affect location choice.
