This dominance, combined with intangible assets, centralized decision-making, and a global outlook, leads to a divergence of approach between multinationals and their local counterparts in host developing countries. Nagesh Kumar analyzes the interindustry pattern of MNEs in India within the framework of the internationalization theory, also examining the comparative behavior of MNE affiliates in terms of conduct and performance. |

| Publisher Description: Multinational enterprises play a vital role in the economic activity of most developing countries. In India MNE affiliates dominate whole sectors of industry - such as plastics and pharmaceuticals - characterised by a high degree of product differentiation, complex technology and high skill intensity. Such advantages, combined with intangible assets, centralised decision making and global outlook lead to a divergence of approach between MNEs and their local counterparts in host developing countries. |
