Stephen Hymer: Three phases, one approach?

Peter J. Buckley

International Business Review, 2006, vol. 15, issue 2, 140-147

Abstract: Stephen Hymer is a seminal figure in the development of the theory of the multinational enterprise (MNE). This paper argues that the three separate phases of his writing-his thesis (1960), his neoclassical 1968 paper and is later radical pieces-can be reconciled around the central core of the economics of the MNE and the attempt to build in a dynamic element.
