The book provides an understanding of the trend of MNC investments in ASEAN especially in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. It presents a case showing that contrary to some popular beliefs, MNC investments benefitted the host countries. In particular, industrialization of the host countries was given a boost. A detailed analysis is also provided on various critical factors which MNCs consider in their investment decisions. These include labour supply and manpower development, infrastructure, and so forth.
