標題: | Global Outsourcing or Foreign Direct Investment: Why Apple Chose Outsourcing for the iPod | 作者: | Lo, Chu-Ping | 關鍵字: | trade | 公開日期: | 2011 | 起(迄)頁: | 163-169 | 來源出版物: | Japan and the World Economy | 摘要: | A simple model is presented, where a firm's productivity is endogenized by its R&D investment. It shows that the most productive firms may prefer international outsourcing to foreign direct investment (FDI) in industries with a high innovation share. The high innovation share motivates the firms to economize on organizational cost in order to save resources for R&D investment, making outsourcing preferable to FDI because the former incurs a smaller organizational cost. This model helps explain why Apple Inc., belonging to the electronics industry, which has a particularly high innovation share, launched its innovative iPod through international outsourcing instead of FDI. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. |
