| Tiivistelmä: | This article suggest that besides the normal benefits to host economy the local firms can benefit from the presence of a multinational corporation (MNC) by seeking and developing actively close customer-supplier relationships. The hypothesis that this may happen through a commitment of resources to relation-specific investments is the starting point for the authors, and support for their view is found in a sample of SMEs suppliers of ST Microelectronics. It is shown that by doing relation-specific investments, local firms can grow and improve their innovativeness. |
