Description
One of the biggest risks any company can take is the setting-up of an overseas production subsidiary. Of all the steps to be taken in doing business overseas, the production subsidiary requires the greatest capital with the very real possibility of the total investment being lost should the venture fail. It is to reduce that risk that this book has been written - to establish the links between decision and success through a detailed analysis and evaluation of how smaller firms have established and run overseas production subsidiaries. A new introduction added to this second edition, on foreign direct investment by smaller European firms, widens the scope of the original book.
