FDI Inflow Trends Globally For the first time developing countries took the lead in FDI,
accounting for 54%* of the total inflows in 2012 Developed countries share dropped to 39%* in 2012 and
expected to continue at that level in 2013 2013 estimates for FDI inflows went by 11%, to an
estimated US$1.46 trillion– a level comparable to the pre-crisis average. Inflows to the US continued to decline, while into EU increased
FDI flows to developing economies reached $759 billion in 2013, with increases to Latin America, Caribbean, Africa. Developing Asia is still the largest host region in the world.

Turkey’s Role in the West Asia Region – in Regard to FDI
Turkey emerged as a significant investor in the West Asia group - OFDI growing by 73% in 2012 to $4.1 billion.
Turkey’s ranking climbed from 43rd in 2012 to 36th in 2013
According to 64 IPAs views, Turkey is considered as the major developing country source of FDI (most promising investor economies in 2013-2015 list)

Turkey’s Role in the West Asia Region – In Regard to IFDI
Turkey was less fortunate in regard to FDI’s inflow growth rate in 2012
Although Asia accounted for 58% of FDI to developing countries, inflows to developing Asia fell by 6.7%
Inflows to West Asia declined for the 4th consecutive year
But with $12 billion inflows in 2012, Turkey became the top country (24th among countries that attracted the most FDI, 14th among emerging economies)
The Development of OFDI in Turkey
Neo liberal economic practices of 1980s Privatization wave in 1990s Customs Union in 1996
Attracting foreign investors, possible licensing and JV agreements
As a result Turkish MNCs developed lower cost alternatives, not to lose their competitive edge in the domestic market
When domestic market shrunk, new business models transferred to international markets

Since 2011 report, no. of Turkish MNCs with OFDI $100 mio and above rose from 19 to 29
Some Further Observations Made on the Vale Report
Increasing tendency by Turkish MNCs towards mining, energy, infrastructure
Though not mentioned in the report, an increase in - MENA & SubSaharan 2 % (2009), 17% (2011) and 12% (2013)
- NA,LA, Caribbean 2 % (2009), 6% (2011) and 4% (2013)
Turkish Treasury data also supports this
The Need to Look Beyond Offical Figures
The reality of undisclosed deals and deal amounts This fact could have much more impact for some
countries Sometimes the official figures could be one half, or
even one third of the estimates Therefore Turkey’s potential in OFDI and IFDI could
be underestimated if only official figures are considered

Some Recent Trends Highlighted by Deloitte
The average deal amount is nearly halved compared to previous years ($61 mio)
This is due to crisis and lower valuation of companies. Also an indication that OFDI is moving towards medium sized Turkish MNCs
For the first time Turkish MNCs made OFDI in Brazil, Mexico and Thailand
S. African Defy bought for $324 mio by Arçelik in 2011
Turkish OFDI Studies by Academia
Although not exclusive, the literature mainly looks into firm specific capabilities and Turkish companies’ reasons for OFDI, such as Erdal & Tatoglu, 2002; Erdilek, 2003, 2005, 2008; Kaya &Erden, 2008; Demirbag & Tatoglu; 2008, Kok & Ersoy, 2009; Kayam & Hisarcıklılar; 2009; Eren-Erdoğmuş, et al. 2010
Or choice between acquisition and Greenfield entries are studied by Demirbag et al., 2008
Equity-based entry modes by Demirbag et al; 2009 Performance of foreign equity ventures by Kaya & Erden, 2007 Anıt et al. (2011) compare inward and outward FDI determinants in Turkey These valuable studies tell us a lot about the Turkish MNCs’ past FDI
patterns and lay the necessary foundations to build upon However early indicators mentioned in business reports should be seriously
considered by the academia and integrated into the research
Some Possible New Research Areas for Turkish OFDI Studies
If OFDI is getting more widespread among medium sized Turkish firms, how would they differ in their entry strategies compared to larger Turkish MNCs?
If new sectors have emerged in Turkish MNCs OFDI such as energy, manufacturing and real estate compared to the more traditional sectors such as food and beverages, how would this will have an impact on Turkish OFDI?
Although EU and CIS are still important destinations for Turkish MNCs, Latin America and Africa are getting popular. How would different destinations affect their entry modes, entry strategies?
In addition private equity companies have started playing important roles especially in inward FDI but their roles are not studied in regard to IB. (For instance Yardımcıoğlu & Demirel (2008) look into its effect in relation to entrepreneurship).
Some Possible New Research Areas for EMNCs based on Accenture
1) Increase in global middle class - Currently 27 other economies-including Poland, Colombia and Turkey -have a greater number of households with an annual income above $30,000.
In richer income segment, Turkish households with an annual income of more than $50,000 will see a total increase of $380 billion household income by 2020, the highest of any emerging economy.
Some Possible New Research Areas for EMNCs based on Accenture
2) Low-cost business models - Emerging middle classes mean that more and more people want to enjoy better life styles at affordable prices.
‘Better product/service quality for masses at affordable prices’ will continue to be crucial for emerging countries, as technology becomes more widespread.
The low-cost business models are especially important in understanding Turkish MNCs OFDI successes.
Some Possible New Research Areas for EMNCs based on Accenture
3) The southern-surge in financial services - High growth rates and emerging middle class will also increase the demand for mobile banking, micro-finance and insurance.
4) Infrastructure - both a potential growth area as well as a restraining factor in emerging countries, due to the lack of infrastructure.
5) The growing importance of citizen services such as healthcare, education, housing, transport will continue to get recognition.
6) Since there will be more need for qualified personnel, transfer of knowledge and transfer of education will have a higher priority, possibly leading to distance learning or satellite campuses.
Suggestions for Future Research UNCTAD forecasts FDI flows to $1.6 trillion in 2014
and $1.8 trillion in 2015 Emerging countries will continue to be major interest Move outside of the conventionally defined research
variables, amalgamating business report findings, with that of the academic look
This chain of thought could also be applied to other EMNCs.
EMNCs move very fast, adapting to changing market conditions almost instantaneously.
The academic work published should also gear to this speed.
