Entering a foreign market is challenging given the fierce competition posed by local incumbents. The literature suggests that when entering a foreign market, it is advantageous to locate where there are agglomeration benefits. Given the dynamic nature of regional development, foreign firms have multiple location options. While the literature has primarily focused on developed country multinationals’ (DMNEs) location decisions, emerging market multinationals (EMNEs) are increasingly becoming influential in high-tech industries. Due to differences in DMNE and EMNE resource endowments, they may consider alternative options when locating abroad and, thus, we examine these nuances. Using multinomial logistic regression, we investigate domestic and foreign location patterns of firms within the U.S. biopharmaceutical industry as of 2018. We constructed a unique dataset of 19,962 U.S. locations and examined the location patterns of DMNEs and EMNEs from 61 countries and territories. Given the heterogeneity of regional development in the U.S., we developed a typology that stratifies regions into four categories (developed, growth, transitioning, and nascent). Counterintuitively, we find that foreign multinationals are more likely to be attracted to less developed regions than domestic firms and have different location patterns, not only compared to domestic firms, but also with respect to each other.

攻占滩头阵地:对美国发达和新兴市场跨国战略选址决策的考察

鉴于本地现有企业的激烈竞争,进入国外市场具有挑战性。文献表明,进入国外市场时,选址有集聚效益的地方是有利的。鉴于区域发展的动态性质,外国公司有多种选址选择。虽然文献主要关注发达国家跨国公司 (DMNE) 的选址决策,但新兴市场跨国公司 (EMNE) 在高科技行业的影响力越来越大。由于 DMNE 和 EMNE 资源禀赋的差异,他们在国外定位时可能会考虑其他选择,因此,我们研究了这些细微差别。使用多项逻辑回归,我们调查了截至 2018 年美国生物制药行业公司的国内外位置模式。我们构建了一个包含 19,962 个美国位置的独特数据集,并检查了来自 61 个国家和地区的 DMNE 和 EMNE 的位置模式。鉴于美国区域发展的异质性,我们开发了一种类型学,将区域分为四类(发达、增长、转型和新生)。与直觉相反,我们发现外国跨国公司比国内公司更有可能被欠发达地区所吸引,并且具有不同的区位模式,不仅与国内公司相比,而且相互之间也不同。过渡和新生)。与直觉相反,我们发现外国跨国公司比国内公司更有可能被欠发达地区所吸引,并且具有不同的区位模式,不仅与国内公司相比,而且相互之间也不同。过渡和新生)。与直觉相反,我们发现外国跨国公司比国内公司更有可能被欠发达地区所吸引,并且具有不同的区位模式,不仅与国内公司相比,而且相互之间也不同。
