Abstract
In this book, attempts have been made to discuss many of the aspects in which FDI can interact with a host of factors and affect the recipient developing country; nonetheless, there still remain some issues that could not be captured within the purview of the book. This concluding chapter provides an outline of a few of them to enable more exhaustive future applied theoretical research in this area.

For example, in the city of Kolkata, India, leather-tanning process is handled by the informal sector. Similarly, for the garment industry the dyeing of garments are done by the informal sector participants on a subcontracting basis. Both tanning and dyeing pollute the environment.

For a few examples of ESTs in individual firms in Brazil, India, China and Zambia, see Perrings et al. (1995).

Initially, we had the plan to include an additional chapter dealing with these issues. However, we later decided to drop this idea due to some reason.

The possibility of existence of such a trade-off has also been demonstrated by Chaudhuri (2006).
