Overseas Production and Exporting by the World's Largest Enterprises: A Study in Sourcing Policy

Peter J Buckley and R D Pearce

Journal of International Business Studies, 1979, vol. 10, issue 1, 9-20

Abstract: The sourcing policy of a multinational firm is the result of the firm's decisions as to which of its production facilities shall service its various final markets. There is an international network linking production to markets. Critical determinants of this policy are the firm's size, industry characteristics, and influences deriving from firm's natioanality of ownership. We suggest that the research intensity is an important influence on sourcing policy, particularly through its effect on the firm's internal exports.© 1979 JIBS.
