Abstract:

A significant part of foreign direct investment and foreign trade is carried out by multinational companies. Multinational Companies expand the exports of host countries by providing access to capital, technology, management knowledge, know-how and regional and global markets, especially the main country markets. Increasing exports through foreign direct investment is one of the most important reasons decisively for governments ' desire to attract direct investment. Multinational Companies increase the exports of goods and services produced in the factory they have established in the local market, as well as local companies. This companies tend to share important export-oriented information with local suppliers and the customer. In addition, competing local firms also have access to some of this information through observation/imitation or mobility of labor. In this way, local companies can increase their exports by taking advantage of multinational companies ' experience in foreign markets, sales, distribution and marketing channels. In this study, the ways in which foreign direct investment inward affect exports are discussed within the scope of theoretical infrastructure (Flying Geese Model, Product Life Cycle, and New Growth Theory) on the effects of foreign direct investment on exports.
