This paper models oligopolistic competition among potential multinational firms in an environment of firm heterogeneity, incomplete information on costs, and strategic interactions. We show that foreign direct investment is more likely if it can serve as a signal of productivity in an environment of incomplete information as firms would like to avoid sending a low productivity signal. Our model shows that this effect is strong enough such that foreign direct investment can be an optimal foreign entry mode even if trade costs are zero.

INNOVATION CLUSTERING AND FIRMS' PRODUCTIVITY IN ITALY
Ferragina, Anna M.; Nunziante, Giulia; Taymaz, Erol (2018-06-01)
Purpose: In this paper we explore how firms' productivity is affected by agglomeration of firms, clustering of innovation and localisation of FDI in Italy. The analysis aims to provide a measure of spillovers on productivity from geographical and sectorial clustering of firms and from their innovation. Firm's absorptive capacity is also taken into account by interacting the variables of agglomeration and innovation at region-sector level with size and technology.
Increasing role of services in competitive power and innovativeness of firms and industrial clusters
Eraydın, Ayda (2007-01-01)
The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of different types of global services for industrial firms and clusters in terms of their economic competitiveness and innovative performance. The theoretical debates argue that globalization, deregulation and the new production organization make it necessary to use global services that are supplied easily with the help of new telecommunication technologies. The existing empirical studies provide some supporting evidence. However, they also indicate that gl...
Export behavior of the Turkish manufacturing firms, 1989-2010 period
Demirhan Atabek, Aslıhan; Ercan, Hakan; Department of Economics (2013)
Using firm-level data of manufacturing sector during the period 1989-2010, this thesis explored the export behavior of firms in Turkey. Up to date, Turkey’s export performance has been analyzed from macro perspective extensively. However, far too little attention has been paid to firm-level analysis contrary to ongoing and growing empirical literature. The preliminary analysis revealed the superiority of exporting firms. Both self-selection and learning-by-exporting are found to be valid explanation for the...
Do US Corporate Governance Standards Effectively Discourage Risk in the Emerging Markets?
Sayari, Naz; Marcum, Bill (2018-06-01)
This study provides an examination of the effect of various corporate governance factors on the management of the risks inherent in business and the potential divergent impact of these factors on US firms and firms in emerging countries. In particular, the study scrutinises corporate governance and corporate risk-taking behaviour across different political and socioeconomic environments. In a cross-sectional time-series setting, two-step generalised least squares regression outcomes reveal that the impact o...
Organizational factors required for IT and business strategies alignment
Altınışık, Said; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2015)
Previous literature strongly supports that the alignment of a firm’s information systems with business strategies leads to superior business performance and provides the firm a competitive advantage in the market. This study examines the antecedent factors of IT and business strategies alignment particularly for the Turkish context. Our research method in this study is embedded correlational model under the umbrella of mixed method research design. We derived the factors that were shown to contribute to bus...
