Details

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the factors driving investment decisions in firms on a global scale with professor Rodrigo Alegria as guest speaker. Large multinational corporations must carefully evaluate their investment opportunities, balancing strategic goals with market realities. In this session, we will analyze this decision-making process by examining the theories behind horizontal and vertical foreign direct investment (FDI) and applying these concepts to practical, real-world case studies. Gain insights into how firms navigate complex global markets and make investment choices that shape the international economy.
