Abstract: Inviting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a means used by developing countries to nurture local firms in developing an international competitive edge. Recently, many developing countries have implemented liberalization policies for FDI in the hope that it would lead to more benefits for host economies and help local firms upgrade their technological capabilities through production linkages, especially backward linkages (BL).
