| Tiivistelmä: | This article discusses the observation that foreign direct investment (FDI) in a knowledge-intensive industry is motivated by the sourcing of knowledge and capabilities residing in the target firm. FDI is not only "pushed" by the resource endowments of the investor, but is also "pulled" towards centers of innovation located in recipient countries. It is crucial for investors to select those firms with the most valuable technological capabilities. Therefore, high quality firms with unobservable or tacit capabilities should send signals to the international marketplace about the value of their capabilities. |
