description This research investigates the qualitative effects of foreign direct investments of the clothing industry in a developing country like Albania. The clothing industry is often regarded as the first step of industrialization and as an employment generator for developing countries. With reference to industrialization induced by foreign direct investrnent of the clothing industry in a developing country like Albania, this research looks into whether clothing manufacturing enterprises have broken the FDI trap. The framework includes: (i) knowledge transferred in the hostterritory and (ii) the evolution in the quality of the degree of clothing manufacturing enterprises. This research is based on case study methodologyin which four clothing manufacturing enterprises two ltalian, one German, and one Greek are analyzed based on the proposed framework.The evolution offoreign clothing manufacturing enterprises in Albania, is examined through a variety ofreal contrasted data sources and by overcoming limitations of existing research in the field. Based on the results derived from implementing a case study methodology, conclusions are drawn on the qualitative effects ofFDI and the industrialization Albania has obtained in the last twenty years from the production activity of the four foreign clothing manufacturing enterprises (subsidiaries). With reference to conclusions, policy recom mendations are proposed on enhancing in a host territory a virtuous FDI circle that leads to upgranding at the firm and industry level applicable in developing countries.

La industria de la confeccion se considera a menudo como el primer paso de la industrializacion y como generador de empleo para los paises en desarrollo. Con referencia a la industrializacion inducida por la inversion extranjera directa en la industria del vestido en un pais en desarrollo como Albania esta investigacion propone un macro sobre los efectos cualitativos con el fin de ver si las empresas de fabricacion de ropa han roto la trampa de la IED. El macro incluye: (i) el conocimiento transferido en el territorio de acogida, y (ii) la evolucion en la calidad de las filiales de fabricacion de prendas de vestir . Esta investigacion se basa en una metodología de estudio de casos en la que se analizan cuatro empresas de fabricacion de prendas de vestir, dos italianas, una alemana y una griega, sobre la base del macro propuesto. La evolucion de las empresas extranjeras de fabricacion de prendas de vestir en Albania, se examina a traves de una variedad de fuentes de datos reales contrastados y superando las limitaciones de la investigacion existente en el campo. Sobre la base de los resultados derivados de la aplicacion de una metodoligia de estudio de caso, se extraen conclusiones sobre los efectos cualitativos y la industrializacion que Albania ha obtenido en los ultimas veinte años a partir de la actividad de production de las cuatro empresas de fabricacion de prendas de vestir extranjeras. Con referencia a las conclusiones, se proponen recomendaciones de politica para mejorar en un territorio anfitrion un circulo de IED virtuoso que conduzca a la mejora del nivel de la empresa y de la industria aplicable en los paises en desarrolloUniversitat Politècnica de CatalunyaWunnik, Lucas Philippe van20172017-09-1920182018-01-23doctoral thesishttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_db06VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/113290https://dx.doi.org/10.5821/dissertation-2117-113290reponame:UPCommons.
