외국인투자기업의 국민경제 공헌도 분석

Abstract

The paper analyzed the contribution of foreign multinationals to the Korean economy,

which was measured by management performance, contribution to economic growth, and

impact on balance of payment and technology transfer. We selected 104 foreign

multinationals in Korea, based on investment size, ownership structure and data availablity.

The result showed that Appeal Telecom, Fanuc Korea Corporation, Coca-Cola Korea

Bottling and Korea BASF achieved the highest scores on the overall contribution measures.

The data in this study suggested that while MNCs made a net contribution to Korean

investment, employment and R&D, there were significant differences in their contribution

measures. Such differences need to be taken into account when designing measures. Such

differences need to be taken into account when designing gevernment policies to attract

more foreign-woned companies into Korea.
