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. -

Conference paper title : The place and status of knowledge in Work Based Learning Abstract : This paper seeks to examine some of the epistemological issues which relate to the debate concerning the justification of Work Based Learning in the HE curriculum. It will take account of post-modern perspectives on the theory of knowledge and of the so-called knowledge revolution and the impact these have had on the University. The perceived divide between academic and vocational knowledge, universal and local knowledge, and Mode 1 and Mode 2 knowledge will be discussed, and it will be argued that such ways of thinking are inappropriate and a hindrance in any attempt to arrive at a satisfactory way of understanding the place and status of knowledge in Work Based Learning. -
