Multinational Enterprises and Developing Countries: Some Issues for Research in the 1990s

For a succinct and comprehensive review of the theory of international investment, see J.H. Dunning , Explaining International Production (London: Unwin Hyman, 1988).

A good example is the United Nations Centre of Transnational Corporations , Transnational Corporations in World Development (New York, 1988).

See Sanjaya Lall , Building Industrial Competitiveness in Developing Countries (Paris, OECD. 1990); Sanjaya Lall, 'Technological Capabilities and Industrialisation', World Development, (forthcoming).

J. Cantwell , Technological Innovation and the Multinational Corporation ( Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1989).

Robert Wade , Governing the Market (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1990); Sanjaya Lall and George Kell , 'Industrial Development in Developing Countries and the Role of Government Interventions', Banca Nationale del Lavoro Quarterly Review (September, 1991, forthcoming).

For a critique of such assumptions, see Helen Schapiro and Lance Taylor , 'The State and Industrial Strategy', World Development (Vol. 18, No. 6), pp. 861-78.
