Zusammenfassung:Conventional wisdom holds that multinationals increase their foreign direct investment as opportunities arise in low-cost, emerging markets. But a Deloitte Research study of global investment by US manufacturers finds the opposite: in industries ranging from chemicals to computers to transportation equipment, US manufacturing FDI decreased from $12 billion in 1999 to $4 billion in 2003.
