Transnational Activity and Market Entry in the Semiconductor Industry
TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the factors that affect the pattern of introduction of semiconductor innovations into the United Kingdom, studying both differences among products and differences among firms, and developed a model for estimating product life cycles in a way that gives information suitable for assessing induced changes in the host country industry.Abstract:
This paper has examined the factors that affect the pattern of introduction of semiconductor innovations into the United Kingdom, studying both differences among products and differences among firms. The pattern of product innovations is based on the concept of a lifecycle process. A model is developed for estimating product life cycles in a way that gives information suitable for assessing induced changes in the host country industry. The analysis that follows is broken into two parts. Firstly, factors determining the rate of diffusion of the innovations in the host country are examined; secondly, factors determining the positions of individual firms within the life cycle are considered.read more

The Eclectic Paradigm of International Production: A Restatement and Some Possible Extensions
TL;DR: The authors reviewed some of the criticisms directed towards the eclectic paradigm of international production over the past decade, and restates its main tenets, concluding that it remains a robust general framework for explaining and analysing not only the economic rationale of economic production but many organisational and impact issues in relation to MNE activity as well.

TRANSNATIONALS, DOMESTIC ENTERPRISES, AND INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE IN HOST LDCs: A SURVEY'
TL;DR: This article reviewed the literature on the relationships between transnational corporations (TNCs) in the manufacturing sector and domestic enterprises as well as industrial structures in host LDCs, focusing on two broad sets of relationships involved, both of which are of significance for understanding the effects of TNCs on host economies and to the formulation of policy.

Foreign Competition and the UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify factors contributing to the rate and character of technical transfer and assess host-country research and development effort in response to foreign competition, and examine the impact of technically-advanced companies, particularly American, on British industries.

The contribution of British scholarship to international business studies
John H. Dunning,John H. Dunning +1 more
TL;DR: The contribution of British scholars to international business research and writings since the early 1960s has been traced in this paper, and two main streams of thought have been distinguished: what is in direct lineage to the interests of Michael, and second that has more to do with explaining the determinants and impact of fdi and MNE activity.

International investment and international trade in the product cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on international investment and international trade in the product cycle and argue that it is a mistake to assume that equal access to scientific principles in all the advanced countries means equal probability of the application of these principles in the generation of new products.

Intrafirm Rates of Diffusion of an Innovation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the intra-firm rate of diffusion, the rate at which a particular firm, once it has begun to use a new technique, proceeds to substitute it for older methods.
