- W351275737 abstract "The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of various channels oftechnology spillovers on local innovative capacity at national and firm level. Atnational level, the thesis investigates the drivers of Malaysia‟s innovativecapacity and the effect of international external sources on innovativecapacity. At firm level, this thesis examines the impact of FDI on theinnovation progress and studies whether multinational corporations (MNCs)can act as catalysts to stimulate local firms‟ innovation activities in Malaysia.Via a case study analysis at firm level, this thesis focuses on knowledgetransfer through backward linkages established between MNCs and their localsuppliers.Time series data analysis is conducted to provide empirical evidence of theeffect of FDI spillovers on Malaysia‟s innovative capacity at national level.Additionally, a case-study approach is adopted to investigate the impact ofvertical FDI spillovers on the innovation performance of local Malaysian firms.The key findings of the study reveal that export-related spillovers arepositively associated with Malaysia‟s innovative capacity, whereas importrelatedspillovers play a minor role in local innovation. The findings alsoindicate that there is no significant correlation between economicdevelopment and local innovation, which suggests that strong economicgrowth is not a necessary condition in order for Malaysia to enhance its localinnovative capacity. The results suggest that there is strong evidence of theimportance of foreign innovation activities to local innovative capacity atnational level. In contrast, knowledge spillovers measured by FDI inflows haveno significant impact on local innovative capacity. The results showed that FDImight be constrained by the fact that spillovers are more likely to take placethrough vertical relationships than horizontal relationships.At firm level, the study suggests that knowledge and technology can bediffused through high-quality and standard requirements imposed by MNCs,the assessment and feedback and training programmes offered by MNCs tolocal suppliers, as well as the production process itself. These results extendiithe existing literature on national innovative capacity and validate earliertheoretical and empirical research on vertical spillovers. The findings from thethesis also have important policy and managerial implications with regard tothe impact of FDI on host developing countries." @default.
