Multinational investment in developing economies is one of the means of technology inflows. If local firms have a critical level of capabilities and are able to compete with multinational firms, this can lead to convergence of best practices. This, in turn, helps local firms in a developing economy to acquire capabilities for internationalization. The issue of convergence is examined with the case of rivalry between a large local firm (Bajaj) and a giant multinational corporation (Hero-Honda) in India's two-wheeler industry.
