Technology diffusion through production process and the innovative capacity of local suppliers

This study goes beyond the existing research in the area of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) spillovers by opening the black box of Multinational Corporations’ (MNC) technology and knowledge spillovers in Malaysia. The main objective of this study was to add to limited evidence related to how and i...
