Abstract

[fre] La part croissante des services dans l'investissement direct international est aujourd'hui une caractéristique importante du processus d'internationalisation.. L'objet de cet article est de présenter les principales explications du développement de firmes multinationales dans les services. Après avoir discuté les analyses qui soulignent les spécificités des services et leurs conséquences sur la place de l'investissement direct par rapport à l'exportation dans la pénétration des marchés étrangers, l'auteur insiste sur l'actuelle importance des prises de participation ou des rachats d'entreprises dans la stratégie des multinationales de services. Cette tendance accompagne les mutations observées dans la demande de services et dans les conditions de la concurrence sur les marchés de services.
