fails to provide efficiency, companies can invest FDI to create
their own supply, production, or distribution streams.
Advantages

Avoid costs of moral hazard (hidden detrimental action by
external partners)
Avoid cost of violated contracts and litigation
Capture economies of interdependent activities
Avoid government intervention
Control supplies
Control market outlets
Better apply cross-subsidization, predatory pricing and
transfer pricing
