摘要
China has surged as an important contributor of outward foreign direct investment. Recent trends reveal that investment from China to Switzerland is growing faster than that from other markets; a number of Chinese firms have invested in long-established Swiss sectors such as the energy technology and the watch-making industry. The latter is a new economic phenomenon worthy of reflective assessment from both the theoretical and international business perspective. These new trends have been driven by a combination of intense competitive pressure, favourable policies for foreign investment and the need to secure long-term economic development. This paper focuses on Chinese investment into Switzerland given particular consideration to the assessment of these new entrants, aspects related to drivers and motivators, elements of difference, and considerations of resources and capabilities. Likewise, the challenges and opportunities facing incumbents in responding to the increasing presence of Chinese firms are offered.
