Abstract

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo presentar algunos factores clave que expliquen la realización de inversiones greenfield investment por parte de las empresas multinacionales españolas. Para llevar a cabo tal investigación han sido encuestadas 166 empresas multinacionales españolas, que entre otro tipo de inversión, han realizado greenfield investment. Para ello se justifica en base a los fundamentos de la teoría de los recursos y capacidades, ya que lo que se quiere llegar a saber son los factores internos de la empresa que más inciden sobre la realización de una greenfield investment. Como introducción a la parte empírica, el artículo pone de manifiesta la importancia la teoría de los recursos y capacidades, expone el auge de las inversiones directas extranjeras, las diferentes formas que puede revestir, la evolución de la IDE española desde 1990 hasta la actualidad y algunos ejemplos de greenfield investment que empresas españolas han llevado a cabo.
