Chinese OFDI in Portugal: can the determinants that move chinese OFDI be applied in the portuguese case?

Abstract

A presente dissertação de mestrado aborda o recente fenómeno “Investimento Chinês em Portugal”, analisa as diversas operações, as suas motivações e condicionantes. Por fim, compara os seus determinantes, com os determinantes do investimento Chinês à escala global, por forma a verificar se Portugal possui algumas características específicas na atração de Investimento Estrangeiro Direto (IED). A riqueza deste estudo de caso prende-se pela atualidade do tema bem como nos depoimentos diretos prestados por executivos que estiveram ligados às recentes operações de Fusões e Aquisições. Quanto à sua estrutura, o trabalho está dividido em quatro momentos fundamentais. O primeiro é a revisão de literatura que aborda as várias teorias utilizadas e categoriza este tipo de investimentos, um segundo momento diz respeito à metodologia escolhida e respetiva origem dos conteúdos empíricos, segue-se ainda uma análise que combina cinco casos de estudo de interesse particular no panorama bilateral. Por fim segue-se uma discussão que procura relacionar a revisão de literatura com o estudo empírico. Conclui-se que o investimento Chinês em Portugal é principalmente focado na procura de ativos estratégicos; inicialmente, este investimento teve origem em empresas estatais através de operações no sector energético. No entanto, o atual quadro de investimentos conta já com uma maior diversidade quanto ao sector de atividade e quanto à origem dos investimentos (empresas privadas).

This master thesis addresses the recent phenomenon "Chinese investment in Portugal", analyzes the different types of operations, their motivations and main constraints. Finally, it compares its determinants with the determinants of Chinese investments on a global level, in order to verify if Portugal has some specific characteristics in the attraction of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The relevance of this case study relies on the actuality of the phenomenon, and on the direct source of knowledge provided by executives who were linked to the recent operations of Mergers and Acquisitions. As for its structure, the work is divided into four main segments. The first is the literature review that discusses the various theories used, and categorizes the different type of investment, a second point approaches the methodology chosen and the sources of the empirical content, it follows the analysis that combines five case studies of particular importance to the bilateral business framework. Finally, we have a discussion that links the literature review and the empirical cases. We concluded that the Chinese investment in Portugal is mainly focused on strategic assets seeking investments. Initially, these investments had their origin on state-owned enterprises from the energy sector. However, the current investment framework deals already with a greater diversity regarding the business sector, and the origin of investments (private companies).
