Types of FDI
Horizontal FDI: Firm produces same products or offers the same services in a host country as at home
Vertical FDI: Firm moves upstream or downstream in different value chain stages in a host country
Upstream vertical FDI: Firm engages in an upstream stage of the value chain
Downstream vertical FDI: Firm engages in a downstream stage of the value chain

Firms become MNEs because FDI provides OLI advantages that they otherwise would not obtain.
