Reviews
Scott Liu's book is a cogent review of the theory of the multinational firm. It provides fresh perspectives on the internalization decision. Professor Liu's work provides an important additional consideration to the foreign investment decision, namely its signaling value, not just for further internalized investment, but also for further expansion by other methods such as exporting and alliances. This is a significant theoretical and practical insight for global strategy. Professor Liu provides a good counterpoint to theory, with several practical company cases and illustrations. -Farok J. Contractor Professor of International Business Rutgers University

Contractor Professor of International Business Rutgers University In this pathbreaking book, Professor Scott X. Liu makes one of the most important contributions to the literature on foreign investment since the 1960 dissertation of Stephen Hymer was published in 1976....This book is the first one to integrate signaling theory into the mainstream internalization paradigm of international business. It is full of useful insights and is a valuable contribution to the literature on the theory and operational management of the MNE. As such, it is an indispensable addition to the library of any serious researcher in the field of international business. -From the foreword, Alan Rugman
