How does regional institutional complexity affect mne internationalization?

1 answer:

3 0

International business research is only beginning to develop theory and evidence highlighting the importance of supranational regional institutions to explain firm internationalization. In this context, we offer new theory and evidence regarding the effect of a region's "institutional complexity" on foreign direct investment decisions by multinational enterprises (MNEs). We define a region's institutional complexity using two components, regional institutional diversity and number of countries. We explore the unique relationships of both components with MNEs' decisions to internationalize into countries within the region. Drawing on semiglobalization and regionalization research and institutional theory, we posit an inverted U-shaped relationship between a region's institutional diversity and MNE internationalization: extremely low or high regional institutional diversity has negative effects on internationalization, but moderate diversity has a positive effect on internationalization. Larger numbers of countries within the region reduces MNE internationalization in a linear fashion. We find support for these predicted relationships in multilevel analyses of 698 Japanese MNEs operating in 49 countries within 9 regions. Regional institutional complexity is both a challenge and an opportunity for MNEs seeking advantages through the aggregation and arbitrage of individual country factors.

What characteristics of weak noncovalent interactions enable the assembly, stability, and functions of biomolecules?

Vesna [10]

Non covalent interactions within the macro molecules determine the three dimensional structures of the macro molecules. Non covalent interactions are also involved in many biological processes in which large molecules bind specifically and transiently to one another. <span />

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1. Calculate each project's payback period.

Payback period packaging machine = the positive cash flows are lower than the initial outlay

Payback period molding machine = 4.45 years

2. Calculate the NPV for each project.

Using a financial calculator

NPV for packaging machine = -$4,178.24

NPV for molding machine = -$2,907.50

3. Calculate the IRR for each project.

IRR for packaging machine = -0.86%

IRR for molding machine = 3.5%

4. If the two projects are independent of each other, which projects, if any, should be selected? Explain why or why not.

None should be selected since the NPVs are negative

5. If the two projects are mutually exclusive, which project, if any, should be selected? Explain why.

None should be selected since the NPVs are negative
