Investing directly in production in another country, either by buying a company there or establishing new operations of an existing business. This is done mostly by companies as opposed to financial institutions, which prefer indirect INVESTMENT abroad such as buying small parcels of a country's supply of SHARES or BONDS. Foreign direct investment (FDI) grew rapidly during the 1990s before slowing a bit, along with the global economy, in the early years of the 21st century. Most of this investment went from one OECD country to another, but the share going to developing countries, especially in Asia, increased steadily.\n\nThere was a time when economists considered fdi as a substitute for trade. Building factories in foreign countries was one way of jumping TARIFF barriers. Now economists typically regard FDI and trade as complementary. For example, a firm can use a factory in one country to supply neighbouring markets. Some investments, especially in SERVICES industries, are essential prerequisites for selling to foreigners. Who would buy a Big Mac in London if it had to be sent from New York?\n\nGovernments used to be highly suspicious of FDI, often regarding it as corporate imperialism. Nowadays they are more likely to court it. They hope that investors will create jobs, and bring expertise and technology that will be passed on to local FIRMS and workers, helping to sharpen up their whole economy. Furthermore, unlike financial investors, multinationals generally invest directly in plant and equipment. Since it is hard to uproot a chemicals factory, these investments, once made, are far more enduring than the flows of HOT MONEY that whisk in and out of emerging markets (see DEVELOPING COUNTRIES).\n\nMERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS are a significant form of FDI. For instance, in 1997, more than 90% of FDI into the United States took the form of mergers rather than of setting up new subsidiaries and opening factories.

Consolidation Is the Effect.  Transactions in subsidiaries are made in the normal course of business.  The financial records of these transactions are kept by each entity, then sent to the Parent Company, who reports them in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  Consolidation is a reporting activity that serves to eliminate the duplication of transactions between consolidated affiliates.

Globilization generally refers to the relocation of manufacturing, information technology, and services-related jobs from developed countries in Europe and North America to the developing economies of India, China, and Central America.\n\nThe benefit to companies is access to lower wage workforces in developing countries to reduce labor costs. Companies that can use low cost labor to produce products can realize a much greater profit margin and return to shareholders.\n\nAnother angle on globalization is corporations who relocate      overseas and reap a winfall of tax benefits and loop hole exemptions. Globalization is a wonderful break for corporations and will even the playing field between developed and developing countries.

Some foreign companies have their stocks listed on US stock exchanges. These stocks are classified under "ADR's" or American Depository Receipts. Or you can buy mutual funds that hold a portfolio of stocks. Also some brokers allow you the flexibility of buying foreign stocks which are specified with a ticker symbol. Figure out what you want to invest in, then go from there.
