The Multinational Enterprise and the Emergence of the Global Factory
No full textThe Multinational Enterprise and the Emergence of the Global Factory brings together research papers authored by Peter J. Buckley, focusing on three of the most important empirical and theoretical issues in the global economy: the rise of the 'global factory'; the growth of FDI from emerging economies; recent developments in the theory of IB
Firm Configuration and Internationalisation: A Model
No full textThe ‘economic school’ of thought has been tremendously influential in International Business (IB) research. Scholars adhering to this school (e.g., Anderson and Gatignon, 1986; Buckley and Casson, 1976; Dunning, 1977, 1988; Hennart, 1993; Hirsch, 1976; Rugman, 1981, 1986) focus on the advantages gained from internalising the firm’s foreign activities during its international expansion. Internalisation enables the firm to minimise the cost of economic transactions by better exploiting underutilised firm-specific capabilities (e.g., managerial skills and technology), which are superior to those of indigenous competitors

Ian Buckley - doctor and medical scientist
No full textThis interview, with Dr Ian Buckley, is part of the Emeritus Faculty's Oral History Program, involving retired staff members of ANU who were part of the university in the early decades of its life. The Oral History Program was initiated and developed by ANU Emeritus Faculty as a contribution to university and community understanding of the beginnings and development of ANU over the past six decades. Emeritus Faculty has a special interest in this era, since the Faculty's membership includes many of the people who helped shape ANU in its early days, to make it the pre-eminent university it is today.
Ian Buckley was born in Melbourne in 1925, and attended school there until drafted into the RAAF in 1943. After the Second World War, he studied medicine at Melbourne University, graduating in 1951 following which he held a series of hospital appointments in country Victoria and Melbourne. In 1956 Ian returned to Melbourne University Medical School to a research and teaching position in Pathology. In 1962 became an NHMRC Research Fellow.
In 1963 he was Eleanor Roosevelt Fellow in CM Pomerat's laboratory at the Pasadena Foundation for Medical Research in California, and in the following year Research Fellow in Keith Porter's laboratory at Harvard University.
Soon after his return to Melbourne University Medical School in 1966, he was recruited by Professor Colin Courtice to join the newly formed Department of Experimental Pathology in the JCSMR at ANU.
Ian Buckley's field of expertise in medicine is the molecular and structural basis of motility in non-muscle cells, and the nature of unregulated cellular growth and invasiveness in malignancy. Since retirement from JCSMR in 1990, Ian has become interested in the political and economic history of modern warfare, in which he now lectures and writes extensively
The impact of inward foreign direct investment on the nature and intensity of Chinese manufacturing exports
No full textThe contribution of transnational corporations (TNCs) to exports from developing countries has long been a point of debate. Host countries often complain that TNCs export too little, and the findings in some studies support these arguments. For example, Lall and Mohammad (1983) found that TNCs performed rather poorly in generating exports from India. However, other empirical studies have suggested the opposite, showing that inward foreign direct investment (FDI) was export-oriented and raised the level of exports from host economies (O’Sullivan, 1993; Blake and Pain, 1994; Cabrai, 1995). Research on the role of inward FDI in improving Chinese export performance has been a more recent addition to the literature. Many studies found evidence of a generally positive and significant role for inward FDI in promoting the expansion of Chinese exports (Buckley, Clegg and Wang, 2002; Sun, 1999, 2001; Zhang and Song, 2000)

China’s Inward Foreign Direct Investment Success: Southeast Asia in the Shadow of the Dragon
No full textA key aspect of the success of globalisation is the emergence of the People’s Republic of China as a major player in the world economy. This paper explores not only the success of China as a location for foreign direct investment (FDI) but also examines some negative externalities of this success for neighbouring countries of Southeast Asia, in particular those of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).1 Much has been written on the character of inward FDI to China (Child and Lu, 1996; Wei and Liu, 2001) and, particularly following its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in December 2001, the determinants of FDI and its effect on the domestic economy, in terms of, for example, growth (Buckley, Clegg, Wang and Cross, 2002) and productivity (Liu, Parker, Vaidya and Wei, 2001). Other work assesses the implications of China’s WTO accession for world merchandise trade flows (e.g., Lardy, 2002; Ianchovichina, Martin and Fukase, 2000; Ianchovichina and Martin, 2001). However, with the notable exception of a report by the ASEAN-China Expert Group on Economic Cooperation (ACEGEC, 2001), much less has been written on how multinational enterprises (MNEs) might adjust investment strategies in response to opportunities arising from China’s deepening integration into the global economic system post-WTO and what the consequences of this might be for developing countries like those of Southeast Asia as FDI recipients
