Abstract
The growth of ICT has paved a way for globalization and all countries
are in some way affected with it. Globalization has led to trade
liberalization which has allowed firms to operate in a number of
countries. Globalization has paved a way for the investment of
Multinational Enterprises in emerging economy. Literature shows that
separately globalization and FDI can be used to increase technology
capability and output of the host country. The knowledge spillover,
collaborative networks, increased competition, and development of
indigenous human capital facilitated by globalization and FDI has
made diffusion of knowledge easier. This study aims to investigate the
nexus of globalization and FDI in predicting technology output of
country. Regression analysis was used for data analysis. Concurrent
and predictive validity was used to check the robustness of the findings.
The results indicate that both globalization and FDI lead to higher
technology output. However, mixed evidences were obtained about the
interactive role of globalization and FDI in predicting technology
output. The results indicate that combined effect of globalization and
FDI can provide more nuanced account of the variation in the level of
technology output of different countries.
