ABSTRACT
Medical device industry has characteristics of multi-disciplinary convergence and is easy to apply with information communication technology. Such nature makes Korea medical device industry more globally competitive than the pharmaceutical industry. The foreign direct investment (FDI) of service industry in Korea continues to be at a standstill and the medical device industry is not an exception. Among this stagnant FDI situation in Korea, Covidien, a global medical device company has established the Covidien Center of Innovation as both an education and training facility for domestic and foreign healthcare professionals and a medical device research and development (R&D) center in August 2013. Along with the global attractiveness of superior clinical outcomes generated by healthcare professionals, the future medical device industry development will be fueled by continued R&D investments, researchoriented hospital R&D activities, and clinical studies, etc. It is important to provide attractive investment environments to embrace FDI similar to Covidien Center of Innovation into Korea in order to leverage healthcare professionals' competency at maximum and lead collaboration between medical device companies and healthcare professionals. It is imperative that 'innovative medical device enterprise' certification system similar to the curent 'innovative pharmaceutical enterprise certification' is created. If additional premium reimbursement prices are granted to medical devices developed and manufactured by the innovative enterprises which contribute to domestic R&D and healthcare professional education and training through FDI in Korea, it will help FDI activation in Korea to a great extent. And the reimbursement coverage for routine care costs in clinical trial will stimulate FDI in Korea.

Dental insurance is insurance designed to pay the costs associated with dental care. The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) bill which was put forward in the winter session of the Lok Sabha (2008) focused on increasing the foreign investment share from the existing 26% to 49% in the insurance companies of India. This will allow the multibillion dollar international insurance companies to enter the Indian market and subsequently cover all aspects of insurance in India. Dental insurance will be an integral a part of this system. Dental insurance is a new concept in Southeast Asia as very few countries in Southeast Asia cover this aspect of insurance. It is important that the dentists in India should be acquainted with the different types of plans these companies are going to offer and about a new relationship which is going to emerge in the coming years between dentist, patient and the insurance company.

Este artigo verifica as condições nas quais os programas e as políticas públicas promotoras de vínculos de negócios (VNs), entre grandes empresas compradoras e pequenos fornecedores locais agem, pressupondo que o Estado tem um importante papel nesse estímulo e que tais vínculos geram desenvolvimento regional e reduzem o desequilíbrio social. A pesquisa empírica, de natureza qualitativa, busca analisar ações e programas de promoção de VNs desenvolvidos no Brasil, bem como as instituições envolvidas, verificar os benefícios dessas ações e identificar oportunidades de intervenção do Estado. Os resultados indicam que políticas públicas podem ser criadas como complemento às políticas de desenvolvimento, voltadas à educação, ualificação de profissionais e incentivadoras de transferência de tecnologia e, de maneira mais ampla, como promotoras de um ambiente propício à atração de investimentos estrangeiros diretos e ao ambiente de negócios. Sugestões de pesquisas futuras são apresentadas como sistemas de governança que abrangem a relação entre as empresas e sua conexão com o setor público.
