Abstract
Book Reviews Korean Multinationals in Europe, by Judith Cherry. Richmond, Surrey: Curzon Press. 2001. xiii, 241 pp., £45.00 cloth. This is a book that can be read fruitfully by those who are interested in learning something about the Korean economy, its consumer electronics industry, and its overseas investment with specific reference to Europe in a single volume. The book begins with a review of various theories of foreign direct investment, including those proposed by Dunning in the United Kingdom, Kojima in Japan, and several researchers in Korea. The author does a fair job of evaluating "Korean theories" of foreign direct investment although she concludes that their theories add nothing new or innovative to the literature developed in the West and Japan. The core of the book, the discussion of Korean direct investment in Europe if we are to take the title of the book seriously, begins only in chapter 6 (out of eight chapters in total). That is, the reader is first treated to a standard academic discussion of the literature before being presented with the facts and reasons why they are worth investigating. As this reviewer sees it, the main purpose of the book is to investigate
