The research result of this project will be published in the final report, which will assure that the typology such as 4 types of multinationals in the enlarged EU can be theorized by introducing the institutional economic view on firm and applying the network alignment theory, national network production theory and collective competition goods theory within the framework of configuration theory. The field research in Czechia verified four types of multinationals. The Japanese FDI's effects on the domestic investment are different in the various sectors of industries. There are differences in the activities of Japanese electronic firms between in the Western Europe and CEE. The FDI in CEE has in a partial degree influenced on the multinationals in Spain. The relations between Japanese multinationals and the economies of Csechnia and Poland were revealed. The intra-firm transference of technology is not relevant to this typology of multinationals. The outer and inner organizational capacities give an important reference to the international competitiveness. Less
