| Abstract: | Multi-market (hereafter as: m-m.) competition occurs when many multinational companies (MNCs) simultaneously invest in many developing countries in a few industries like cars or electronic goods, for which investment incentives exist. Resulting negative m-m. spillover effects have largely been ignored in theories of foreign direct investment (FDI) leading to a need of combining industrial organization models with the theories of FDI. Based on theoretically deduced hypotheses and empirical testing, reducing product substitution and/or the diseconomies of scale and scope within and btw. such MNCs are the resulting managerial challenges. |
