ABSTRACT
This paper presents a model to analyze the shaping mechanism and allocation of the investment gains by multinational enterprise (MNE) when it enters the host market through cross-border merger. The results show that, with advanced micro-management techniques as a wide range of application of computer technology, the MNE can be more accurate in predicting changes in the productivity of a corporation of the host country after merging with it, and therefore more effective in allocating resources, and consequently will gain a greater profit than that of the host country’s corporation. This paper also infers that by choosing some proper FDI policies, the host country could share the profit with MNE.
