项目摘要

The objective of this research is to clarify the recent trends of inward direct investment in Japan, putting special attention on the process of decision making made by multinational firms, the economic agent actually making investment. This will be done by applying OLI paradigm known as the theoretical framework for the international production. The result showed that the OLI paradigm could explain quite well the following tow points, namely, (1) the inward investment in Japan has been stagnated for a long period of time at very low level since the Meiji Restoration, (2) the inward investment in Japan has started to grow since the late 1990's. Recently, however, the locations of knowledge and capabilities necessary for the firms to possess in order to obtain competitive advantages tend to disperse worldwide as the global competition becomes severe. As a result, multinational firms started to make direct investment overseas in order to strengthen or create ownership advantages and to o … More btain new competitive advantages rather than doing so having ownership advantages in advance as weapons to compete. Given the new strategies of multinational firms as just mentioned, it will be necessary to reconsider the theoretical analysis of direct investment in Japan by reappraising the three elements offered by OLI paradigm respectively in the direction explained as follows. (A) The factor which determines the flow of direct investment is not the disparities of ownership advantages among firms. Considering the situation where ownership advantages become parity among firms worldwide, it is rather the dynamism of firms to create new competitive advantages becomes primary motive power for the direct investment. (B)During the age of "transnational" management or "metanational" management, what are important as location specific advantages are created assets such as technology, knowledge, skill, innovation ability, and so on. In order for hocal governments to effectively conduct the attractive policies for multinational firms, it becomes important how to accumulate such assets which must be obtained after investment and what kind of strategic role should be expected for the local subsidiaries of multinational firms. (C) The strategic alliances will play even more important roles for the analysis of internalization incentives, because those created assets not innately possessed are closely related to the firm specific and context independent natures.

本研究的目的是阐明日本外来直接投资的最新趋势，特别关注跨国公司（实际进行投资的经济主体）的决策过程。这将通过应用被称为国际生产理论框架的 OLI 范式来完成。结果表明，OLI范式可以很好地解释以下两点，即：（1）日本的外来投资自明治维新以来长期停滞在很低的水平；（2）日本的外来投资自1990年代后期开始增长。然而，近年来，随着全球竞争的加剧，企业获得竞争优势所需的知识和能力的分布趋于分散。于是，跨国公司开始进行海外直接投资，是为了强化或创造所有权优势，获得新的竞争优势，而不是预先拥有所有权优势作为竞争武器。鉴于刚才提到的跨国公司的新战略，有必要重新考虑对日本直接投资的理论分析，分别按如下方向重新评估OLI范式提供的三个要素。 (A) 决定直接投资流量的因素不是企业间所有权优势的差异。考虑到全球范围内企业所有权优势趋于平等的情况，企业创造新的竞争优势的活力成为直接投资的主要动力。 (B)在“跨国”管理或“元国家”管理时代，重要的区位优势是创造的资产，如技术、知识、技能、创新能力等。为了有效地实施对跨国公司的吸引力政策，如何积累投资后必须获得的资产以及跨国公司在当地的子公司应发挥什么样的战略作用就变得非常重要。 (C) 战略联盟对于内部化激励分析将发挥更加重要的作用，因为那些非天生拥有的创造资产与企业特定性和环境独立性密切相关。较少的
