Dear attending students,
Good morning to you.
I believe that you are enjoying the start of your new day.
I just wanted to bring to your attention several key points regarding our course planning for the next week. As already instructed, please make sure that you try the best to deepen your understanding the core content of Meyer et al. (2009) & Puck et al. (2009) by answering the questions listed. Certainly, we will start with Schwens et al. (2011) for the remainder of this week. Accordingly, we will have an in-class discussion of these scholarly articles next Monday (10.03.2025 | Monday).
Regarding our Tuesday class (11.03.2025), we will do some exercises & quizzes as well as in-class readings. No preparation is required. I just decided to deliver the lecture in this way. Please review the materials we covered so far if possible.
For next Wednesday (12.03.2025), I would like you to read & understand the following articles already posted on moodle:
FDI Strategies – Location Choice.
Head, K., & Mayer, T. (2004). “Market potential & the Location of Japanese Investment in the European Union”, Review of Economics & Statistics, 86(4), 959-972.
Meyer, K. E., & Nguyen, H. V. (2005). “Foreign Investment Strategies & Sub-National Institutions in Emerging Markets: Evidence from Vietnam”, Journal of Management Studies, 42(1): 63-93.
Li, Y., Li, J., Zhang, P., & Gwon, S. (2023). “Stronger Together: Country‐of‐Origin Agglomeration & Multinational Enterprise Location Choice in an Adverse Institutional Environment”, Strategic Management Journal, 44(4), 1053-1083.
I do hope that everything is now clarified enough. Should you have any specific questions or need any assistance, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you a wonderful weekend ahead & ci vediamo prossimo lunedi ! Grazie mille.
Kindest wishes,
Norifumi Kawai
