Abstract

Consider an enterprise that wants to expand its business to multiple cities in global and to be one of well-known multinational enterprises (MNEs). Suppose the MNE hopes each planning investment subsidiary gleans a specific target return within a constant time horizon. Under this premise, this paper proposes two optimization models to find the optimal allocation policy of capital investment, which maximize the degree of realization of the MNE’s concerned objective. Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the proposed models, a solution procedure developed upon the piecewise-linear approximation and goal programming techniques is used for resolving the models.
