High Impact Research into Foreign Direct Investment in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe
8 January 2010
Dr. Carmen Stoian’s paper entitled ‘Dunning’s Eclectic Paradigm: A Holistic, yet Context Specific Framework for Analysing the Determinants of Outward FDI’ (co-authored with Dr. Fragkiskos Filippaios from Kingston Business School) has been among the top five most downloaded articles from the International Business Review between January and October 2009. The International Business Review is a leading international academic journal in International Business and the official publication of the European International Business Academy.
Dr. Stoian’s article makes significant contributions in testing empirically and expanding the late Professor John H. Dunning’s ‘eclectic paradigm’, the crux of International Business academic research. Furthermore, this paper puts forward significant strategy implications for managers of multinational companies aiming to expand in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe (CESEE). Finally, this research has significant implications for policy makers in CESEE looking to target foreign investors, contributing to the topical debate on the necessity for sustained institutional reforms in these economies.
This article has already been cited by subsequent research and paves the way for further studies on foreign direct investment in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe as well as facilitating research into expanding the ‘eclectic paradigm’.
