| Tiivistelmä: | This study analyzes the determinants of the decision to invest abroad and the choice of spatial configurations (hereafter as: confs.) of overseas plants for 120 Japanese firms active in 36 well-defined electronic product markets. It is found that key competitive drivers at the firm and industry levels have a critical impact on the choice btw. alternative international plant confs. Regional confs. focused on Asia are chosen by firms with weaker competitiveness for products with established manufacturing technologies. Plant confs. focused on the United States and the European Union are chosen by technology-intensive firms facing competitive threats in foreign markets. Global confs. are chosen by firms with a strong competitive position in the Japanese and world market for their core product businesses and are more common in the case of strong oligopolistic rivalry btw. Japanese firms. |
