- SYLLABUS
| The course of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Multinational Enterprises (MNE) deals with the study of multinational enterprise activity in the internationalized market and analyse the presence of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and Multinational Enterprises in the economic activity and the formation of the national product. FDI and MNEs are an integral part of an open and effective international economic system and a major catalyst to national, regional and international development. Moreover, due to the increased globalization of most industries and markets, the organization and strategy of modern MNEs is more complicated than traditional organizational models in their pure form. Students will develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the impact of FDI on development, the traditional models of foreign expansion, the quest of MNEs to simultaneously achieve higher levels of global integration and local responsiveness and the new paradigms that corroborate the existence and usefulness of the domestic, global, and transnational models to characterize the most salient features of MNEs.
