John Dunning is undoubtedly the world's leading scholar on the subject of multinational corporations and international business. This collection of original essays is designed to honor this work, particularly his achievements during his association with Rutgers University. The contributors, most well known in the field in their own right, explore the many threads of Dunning's work, focusing on advances to his 'eclectic paradigm', which looks at the interactions between ownership, location and internalization in explaining foreign direct investment by multinational firms. The book was also conceived and written to record Dunning's contribution to the creation of a doctoral program in International Business at Rutgers University at Newark. The coverage explores a range of topics and seeks to build on the eclectic paradigm or to apply it to existing problems.

Scholars and students in international business will find this Festschrift an enlightening study of one person's contribution as well as an important advance in the literature on the eclectic paradigm.
