Abstract

Understanding the channels and moderating factors of firms’ adoption of foreign technology has important policy implications, as a clearer understanding of the exact mechanisms of learning via foreign investment will allow policymakers to better target appropriate forms of FDI. Multinational media corporations investing in foreign developing countries are believed to possess advantages that enable them to compete with better informed domestic firms. These advantages include intangible productive assets such as technology know-how, management skills, and reputation.
