Impact of FDI on Competitiveness in India

Shruti

Summary

Though, it is often believed that those economies which are strongly competitive are able to attract more FDI, but still the relationship between FDI inflows and its impact on competitiveness is an issue of enquiry. Foreign direct investment involves long term relationship reflecting a lasting interest and control of a resident entity in one economy in an enterprise resident in an economy other than that of the foreign direct investor. (World Investment Report, United Nations, 2002). On the other hand, competitiveness is a diverse concept as different economic agencies define competitiveness in different ways. The fundamental principle, which allows the distinction between notions of competitiveness of nations and competitiveness of enterprises, focuses on where the creation of economic value takes place. The economic value is only created within the context of an enterprise, whereas, a nation's environment hinders or supports this process through its policies. The present book is an attempt to provide an insight into impact of FDI on macroeconomic variables having a bearing on competitiveness in the context of Indian economy along with, in the context of Indian firms. Defining competitiveness differently in the context of economy and firms may help us in providing a more comprehensive assessment of impact of foreign direct investment on competitiveness of India.

25 Conversation Starters - Open...

Dre Baldwin

Conversation is simple and easy. We share things with others, and others share things with us. It doesn't always work out this simply, of course, but this is who we are at our cores.
Humans are social creatures; we share. Verbal communication played a significant role in all your biggest life achievements. The sexiest guy or girl you've dated. The most money you ever made. The happiest you've ever been. Didn't all of these come, in whole or in part, from some amount of conversation?
Who are your best friends? Your closest relatives? And how did they become so close and important to you? From conversation!
So, knowing how important conversation is, why do so many of us struggle with it? We think too damn much.
About? What the other person might think of us How we might sound stupid If this is a dumb question Possibly being turned down for something The fear of the unknown
Eliminate these fears, and conversation is easy. These fears are mostly based in a lack of knowledge. A lack of knowledge in how to start a conversation and how to keep conversation flowing. But you downloaded this book. So that fear will be gone very soon.
Verbal communication is the skill which keeps humans at the top of the food chain. Without it, we would be prey to the many bigger, stronger and faster animals we see on National Geographic.
The most successful people we know are the best communicators. They're the people who can best get their point across. The ones who are good at persuasion. People can make people feel things - happiness, anger, sadness, motivation. The best communicators make their every communication feel like a personal conversation with you.
