THE MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN ASIA

本项目的目的是分析使亚洲经济能够共生发展的经济合作体系的要素。我们选择了三个国家作为我们实地研究的对象，日本、新加坡和印度。我们的研究有两个观点。首先是关注新加坡和印度的外商直接投资政策和基础设施。二是分析了日本跨国公司在亚洲地区的经营战略和结构形式。如果日本企业需要在印度的投资取得成功，我们想提出两点需要改进的地方。首先，他们应该努力将印度作为其亚洲地区生产系统中的生产基地。我们可以看到，亚洲经济具有东北亚和东南亚的复合区域核心。东南亚经济区包括东盟国家和印度(南亚国家)。其次，日本企业应该使用…在东盟国家设立更多的IR子公司，作为在印度投资的催化剂。日本对印度的直接投资与印度的外国投资政策之间存在目的错配。我们必须消除我们很难在印度投资的心理障碍。日本在新加坡的直接投资面临高薪问题。从长远来看，日本管理层可以也必须通过接受新加坡人自己喜欢的适当技术来为新加坡和社会做出贡献。我们可以体会到，自1991年以来，印度的外商投资政策已经显现出一些效果，当时印度政府因经济危机而开始实施结构调整计划。但在吸引外国直接投资印度方面，某些问题仍然存在。首先，中央政府应该放开对外商投资的监管，消除遵循中央税收优惠程序的麻烦。其次，州政府还应改善州销售税和税费的复杂结构。较少

The purpose of this project is to analyze essential factors of economic cooperation system which make it possible for the Asian economy to develop symbiotically. We have selected three countries as the subject of our field research, Japan, Singapore, and India. Our research has two points of view. First is to focus attention on foreign direct investment policies and infrastructure of Singapore and India. Second is to analyze management strategies for Asian region and structural forms of Japanese MNCs.1. We would like to suggest two points which Japanese corporations have to improve, if they need to make a success of their investments in India. First, they should try to internalize India as a base of production in their production systems of Asian region. We can realize that the Asian economy has compound regional cores of Northeast and Southeast Asia. The Southeast economic region includes ASEAN countries and India (South Asian countries). Secondly, Japanese corporations should use the … More ir subsidiaries in ASEAN countries as the catalyst to invest in India.2. There is a mismatch of purpose between Japan's direct investment in India and India's foreign investment policy. We have to eliminate the psychological barrier which it difficult for us to invest in India.3. Japan's direct investment in Singapore is faced with high wages. In long run, Japanese management can and must contribute to Singapore and society by acceping appropriate technologies which Singaporean themselves favor.4. We could appreciate that some effect of India's foreign investment policy had appeared since 1991 when India government started structural adjustment programes because of the economic crisis. But certain problems still remain in regard to an inducement of foreign direct investments in India. First, Central government should liberalize regulations of foreign investments and eliminate the troublesome following the procedure of central tax concessions. Secondly, State governments should also improve the complicated structure of state's sales tax and octroi. Less
