Extending the Eclectic Paradigm in International Business : Essays in Honor of John Dunning

John Dunning is one of the world's leading scholars on the subject of multinational corporations and international business.

This collection of original essays is designed to honour his work.

The contributors explore the many threads of Dunning's work, focusing on advances to his "eclectic paradigm", which looks at the interactions between ownership, location and internalization in explaining foreign direct investment by multinational firms.

The book was also conceived and written to record Dunning's contribution to the creation of a doctoral program in International Business at Rutgers University at Newark.

The coverage explores a range of topics and seeks to build on the eclectic paradigm or to apply it to existing problems.
