The past two sections described how host developing countries attract MNEs. It is
found that while basic education for all adults is the key starting point, a demand driven
HRD at a higher level is necessary to attract higher value-added MNEs including those in
the recently growing services sector. To further squeeze-out the benefits of FDI, host
countries need to further fine-tune policies to facilitate technology transfers. Even
reaching this point is a difficult task for most host developing countries, especially for
those countries that have historically relied on the primary sector and natural resourcebased
manufacturing in which a high level of human resources deemed less important
an attraction.
This section discusses possible policy options so that the process of inflowing FDI
and technology transfers continuously repeats as in a virtuous circle, for countries that
have at least gradually succeeded in attracting FDI and are moving towards optimising
HRD policies to facilitate technology transfers. What else, apart from the policy
implications mentioned in sections III and IV, is necessary to start and sustain such a
virtuous circle?
