  • International Business Research and Risky Investments, an Analysis of FDI in Conflict Zones Nigel Driffieldª , Chris Jonesª &A
    International business research and risky investments, an analysis of FDI in conflict zones Nigel Driffieldª, Chris Jonesª & Jo Crottyb ªAston Business School, Aston University, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, B4 7ET, UK b Salford Business School, M225 Maxwell Building, University of Salford,43 The Crescent, Manchester, M5 4WT, UK A B S T R A C T The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of a firm’s strategy to invest in a conflict location. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been done before. We examine this using a standard model of international business, overlaid with the fundamental approach to corporate social responsibility. We start with the population of multinationals who have chosen to invest in low income countries with weak institutions. We then split this sample in order to distinguish between firms that have invested in conflict regions compared to those that haven’t. Our analysis then proceeds to explain the decision of those firms to invest in conflict locations by using a simple Probit model. We find that countries with weaker institutions and less concern about corporate social responsibility (CSR) are more likely to invest in conflict regions. Finally, firms with more concentrated ownership are more likely to invest in such locations. Keywords: Conflict, Corporate Social Responsibility, FDI, Institutions. 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine investments by largely western firms into areas of conflict. The previous literature that we discuss below focuses on the extent to which FDI into such locations may impact on the instability of the region, or subsequently, Corresponding author at: Aston Business School, Aston University, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, B4 7ET, UK.

  • Annual Report 2020 Coming Through the Crisis to Better and Happier Times Coming Through the Crisis to Better and Happier Times
    Annual Report 2020 Coming through the crisis to better and happier times Coming through the crisis to better and happier times 4 Message from the Chairman of the Board and the President Dear EFMD Member, 2020 will, without a doubt, be a year we look back on and study in history for many years to come. The world has faced a pandemic with no boundaries or borders that has affected every country, society, people and organisation at every level and that continues to challenge the governance, structures and well-being of humanity. Yet, there have been remarkable advancements in science, collaboration and the human spirit as we start to slowly see hope with vaccines being developed. We have also witnessed incredible resilience, kindness and open debate on how to come out of this terrible crisis, with societies reflecting about the future and how to engage and think differently about the world. Within the EFMD network as well, so much has happened and so much has been learnt over this past year. We managed to hold our face-to-face gathering with the Deans and Directors in Milan last February which was hosted wonderfully by SDA Bocconi School of Management, with over 400 participants from 50 countries. Little did we know that Alain Dominique Perrin, soon after such a wonderful event where we enjoyed seeing friends, engaging with Chairman of the Board great speakers and making new connections, the world would change dramatically. We are incredibly proud to say that EFMD acted quickly. The response of our staff was remarkable, and nearly overnight, we adapted to the new conditions.
