China's high-growth economy has attracted enormous inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) since its open-door policy began in 1979. FDI contributed to China with necessary capital and production technology, as well as management and marketing experience.

520 $a China's high-growth economy has attracted enormous inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) since its open-door policy began in 1979. FDI contributed to China with necessary capital and production technology, as well as management and marketing experience.
520 $a Since 1992 Taiwan's investment amount has ranked second to collective investment of Hong Kong/Macao. This amount was further boosted in 1993 when the Taiwanese government allowed more large-size firms to invest in China. Nevertheless, Taiwanese investors mainly consisted of small- to medium-size firms that lacked the ownership advantages of the multinational corporations (MNCs) described in Dunning's (1977) eclectic theory. Unlike existing broader multinational studies, this research focused on features of Taiwanese firms' investment in China. It examined motivations, product characteristics, investment amount patterns, enterprise form selection, and technology transfer preferences. Vernon's (1966) product characterization was used with modification. Conclusions were made by comparing and integrating quantitative and qualitative analysis results.
520 $a Research findings suggest Taiwanese firms' China investment decisions were primarily influenced by government policies. They were also motivated by market opportunity and low production costs. Their greater production, management, and marketing experience relative to the Chinese was another important motivation. Both large and small- to medium-size firms initially invested in products with more "high development-type" characteristics. Although Taiwanese firms' initial investment was smaller, large firms that produced more "middle to low development-type" products at home tended to make larger investments in China, more often in "high development-type" products. No predominant pattern existed in enterprise form selection relative to their product characteristics. Taiwanese firms preferred the use of machinery and equipment for technology transfer. Research findings also suggest more recently some large firms, especially listed companies, have shifted to investing larger amount in more high-tech industries. These large firms have sent more technical personnel to improve subsidiaries' research and development and position themselves to compete in the growing Chinese market.
520 $a Results of this study have added to the existing research and made a unique contribution to the field, especially on small- to medium-size firms' international involvement.
