Abstract

The main aim of this article is to identify the fundamental reason for changes in the geography of Korean foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. More specifically, the article argues that changes in the industrial sectors and the location of FDI resulted from the transition of strategies for Korean FDI in China since the late 1990s is not based on ownership specific advantages, internalization advantages and locational advantages (OIL), but on changes in site where both the needs of Korea and China are articulated, i.e. the strategy for business integration, centering on market, institution and technology. In other words, changes in the location of Korean FDI in China have been the result of changes in the Chinese market structure, institutional changes in Chinese inward FDI incentives and regulations and the accumulation of Korean technology capability since 2000. In addition, by investigating production networks in China, this article attempts to identify the relationships between changes in Korean FDI location and changes in market, institution and technology. Therefore, the empirical evidence provided by the case study of CDMA (code division multiple access) mobile communications FDI since 2000 in China is used to identify the impact of market, institution and technology on the location of Korean FDI in China.

본 논문의 주 목적은 한국의 대중국 해외직접투자의 지리적 변화에 대한 근본적인 원인을 밝히고자 하는데 있다. 특히 1990년대 후반 이후 대중국 투자전략 전환으로 인한 투자 업종 및 입지의 변화는 한국 투자기업이 기업특유 우위(ownership-specific advantages), 내부화우위(internalization advantages) 및 입지우위(locational advantages)에 이론적 기반을 둔 것이 아니라, 시장, 제도 및 기술을 중심으로 한국과 중국 양 국가의 수요가 접합되는 지점의 변화, 즉 통합적 전략의 변화에 기반을 두고 있다고 주장한다. 다시 말해, 1990년대 후반 이후 한국 대중국 직접투자 입지 변화는 2000년 이후 중국시장구조의 변화, 투자유입에 대한 중국의 제도적 변화, 한국기업의 기술역량 제고에 기인한다는 것이다. 이와 더불어 본 논문은 2000년 이후 급속히 증가하고 있는 CDMA 이동통신 투자경험을 사례로 한국 대중국 직접투자에 대한 시상, 제도 및 기술의 입지효과를 밝히고자 하였다.
