The thesis aims at analyzing Chinese Outward Foreign Direct Investments in the course of four years ( 2011,2013,2014 and 2015). The work is made up of four chapters. The first one deals with the description of the general FDI market characteristics and reviews the main theoretical models of FDI developed in the course of the last decades; this review has been conducted with respect of developed-countries investments and developing-countries investments. In the second chapter the country of the analysis, China, is introduced and it is provided a description of its governmental, legal and economic characteristics and particular models of FDI that can explain the way of expansion chosen by Chinese MNEs. The third chapter deals with the first phase of the analysis; in this respect it has been used the datasets provided by FDI markets that lists all the investments announcements by global MNEs. The aim was to see what investments have been effectively finalized and the target countries and source regions of investments. The last chapter introduce the in-depth analysis of the datasets aimed at providing useful information about the possibile presence of clusters, their role and the specific characteristics of investments toward advanced-countries and toward other emerging-economies. The chapter ends with a forecast of possibile future trend of Chinese investments.
La tesi ha come obiettivo quello di andare ad analizzare, nel corso di quattro anni (2011,2013,2014 e 2015) gli Investimenti Diretti all'estero da parte delle multinazionali Cinesi. L'elaborato è strutturato in quattro capitoli: nel primo capitolo si passa in rassegna la descrizione delle peculiarità del mercato globale degli FDI andando ad analizzare efficacia e limiti dei principali modelli teorici di FDI sviluppati nel corso degli ultimi decenni con particolare riferimento ai modelli applicabili alle imprese provenienti dai paesi avanzati ed emergenti. Nel secondo capitolo si introduce il paese di analisi, la Cina, andando a descriverne le principali caratteristiche governative, legali ed economiche e andando ad introdurre particolari modelli di FDI che ne rispecchiano le caratteristiche specifiche. Il terzo capitolo introduce la parte analitica rivolta agli investimenti Cinesi; per fare ciò si è utilizzato l'FDI markets datasets che classifica tutti gli annunci di FDI da parte di tutte le multinazionali del mondo; finalità quella di verificare il numero di investimenti effettivamente finalizzati ed analizzarne gli obiettivi e le regioni di provenienza. Infine, il quarto ed ultimo capitolo, analizza dettagliatamente tutte le variabili fornite dai database con il fine di estrapolarne informazioni utili circa la presenza di clusters, obiettivi favoriti e caratteristiche particolari degli investimenti effettuati. Si conclude con una proiezione del futuro andamento degli investimenti Cinesi.
