THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE OF HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION, INWARD FDI, AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS
The past two sections described how host developing countries attract MNEs. It is found that while basic education for all adults is the key starting point, a demand driven HRD at a higher level is necessary to attract higher value-added MNEs including those in the recently growing services sector.
Does Availability of Educated Workers Increase Enterprise Training?
A number of studies have addressed the issue of whether educated employees are more likely to receive enterprise training. Since productivity gains of training activities among educated workers are expected to be higher, firms with a higher proportion of educated workforce are more likely to provide training.
Do MNEs Train More than Domestic Firms?
Most empirical findings confirm this by using variables representing foreign ownership. Tan and Batra (1996), Tan and Lopez-Acevedo (2003), and Miyamoto and Todo (2003) show that higher foreign equity share is indeed an important determinant of training in Mexico, Indonesia and Malaysia. Why do MNEs train more than domestic firms?
HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION BY MNES AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS
The previous section examined the role of host countries in attracting inward FDI and found that efforts to develop an attractive investment climate supported by sound policy reforms in HRD would help open doors to inward FDI. This section focuses on what host countries can do next to mobilise these MNEs to strengthen HRD further.

Uganda - Africa's Newest Investment Darling?
It is always good to have a positive role model. Especially one who has endured the occasional long and harsh roads and is still here to tell about it. Generally, this type of role model not only earns the respect of their peers; but also gains a stable of followers. In the African context, if we are talking about recent economic growth amidst large hurdles, it is difficult to disregard Uganda.
OPENING THE DOOR IN THE EAST TO WESTERN CAPITAL
Many companies in Eurasia are looking to the West for capital, expertise, and much more these days. But few actually have the necessary experience, contacts, and knowledge to acquire them. The rapid growth and development of Eurasia’s economies and a resurgence of its domestic markets has sprawled the need for additional financial resources in the form of loans, investments, and other financial instruments. Western companies can also take advantage of the exciting opportunities currently available in Eurasia. This article shows the way for both.

Opportunities and Challenges in International Franchising - Foreign Franchises Trying to Move into the U.S.
Although franchising is growing more rapidly outside the U.S. than in our more saturated U.S. market, the U.S. remains an extremely attractive - and prestigious - market in the eyes of many foreign franchisors. Thus, one trend that is seeing renewed interest is the influx of foreign franchise systems into the U.S. While moving from the U.S. to a foreign market can be a challenge for American businesses, it can be even more challenging fro foreign operations to establish a foothold here in the States, as they deal with our more complex regulations, a serious language barrier, and the ever-competitive U.S. market.

Can Emerging Markets Follow China's FDI Growth Recipe?
China's ability to attract massive amounts of foreign investment does not derive entirely from its economic growth rate or the size of its population, observed Stephen J. Kobrin, Professor of Multinational Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA. Rather, China leads the developing world in liberalizing its foreign investment policies, he noted. Felipe Larra Bascu Professor of Economics, Catholic University of Chile, Chile, challenged this view, saying he believed that it was China's large marketplace, high growth rate and low costs rather than its investment policies driving FDI. Between these extremes, Paul A. Laudicina, Managing Director, A.T. Kearney, USA, said that interviews with his firm's clients revealed that it was both the size of China's marketplace and its policies that were luring investment.
