According to Moosa (2002), “Hymer (1976) organized the industrial organization hypothesis. Kindleberger (1969), Caves (1982) and Dunning (1988) further explained the hypothesis. This theory assumes that the firms when it establishes an enterprizes in another country it suffers from many disadvantages in comparison to local investors. The cultural aspects, languages, legal system and other factors play an important role in determining FDI. But there is increase in FDI. The theory explains about why firms invest in foreign countries. But the theory fails to explain the motivation for choosing the locations. This theory explains the expansion of FDI is due to capital, management, technology, marketing, and access to raw materials, economies of

A country analysis project must be analyzed in the context of its political, legal, economic, social, and cultural environments-the investment climate of the target country. Although sensitivity to particular factors varies from one project to another, all analyses are subject to the influence of some set of specific factors. Therefore a firm should raise three questions about a country's investment climate: (1) How the investment climate will be critical to the success of the project? (2) What is the present value of these critical issues? (3) How are these issues likely to change over the investment planning period? In making domestic investment decisions, firms should pay much attention to the relative

FDI allows the home country to invest into the host country to produce, advertise, and distribute products, in order to upsurge their market share and provides a long-term investment and enhancement. (Moosa, 2002)

In addition it is worth considering that emerging economies having been attracting increasingly more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) having accounted for 52% of global FDI inflows according to recent data. Looking closer at the FDI spread based on regional allocation it is worth noting that Nigeria received the greatest proportion of FDI in Africa, Indonesia in South-Eastern Asia, Mexico in Central America and Turkey in West Asia. This demonstrates the investment potential within the MINT

Thus, among all these theories, our thesis, we will mainly focus on location-specific advantages as according to the research conducted by Nayak and Rahul (2014,p.10), location advantages of different countries play a significant role in determining which country will be the recipient of FDI, Since the aim of the study is to analyze the impacts of the host country characteristics on FDI inflows, particularly that of Singapore and Hong Kong, we assume that firms already possess ownership and have internalized these advantages, making locational advantages very much country specific and are likely to vary according to changes in internal and external factors which will eventually influence a firm’s market potential and market risk. Thus, this renders the choice of locational advantage factors critical in influencing a country’s ability to attract

Stopford, John M.; Susan Strange; John S. Henley (1991) state that the eclectic paradigm contrasts a country's resource endowment and geographical position (providing locational advantages) with firms resources (ownership advantages), the four outcomes shown in the figure 2 below. If the firms possess competitive advantages and higher in the transport costs than foreign locations , the firms therefore make a FDI abroad in order to save the transportation costs. But if the country has locational advantages, strong local firms are more

Asia countries are the predominant location for FDI. China and India remain the two big countries that receive FDI sources. Because of low labor cost and low input cost, many investors are shifting their attention from Malaysia to China. India, as

As globalization intensifies, the business community tends to expand its operations towards the international market. This can be as a result of intense competition in the local market, need to increase sales and profits margins, to enhance the company’s prestige, to create jobs, to increase the value of the entrepreneurs among others (Bodie, 2013). Before going global, the company’s executive has to consider factors that favour or hinder their goal towards achieving international recognition in trade. This paper reviews the topic on “Making an Investment in a Foreign Market and factors considered.

With globalization and technological advancements comes offshoring – the movement of services or manufacturing to another country in an attempt to take advantage of favorable business conditions in that country. As a result of offshoring, the last decade saw significant amount of capital flight to developing Asia. Skilled work force, availability of labour, low-wages, and easy access to supplies, were some of the factors influencing the move of FDI to the region. Although recent economic data suggest that developing Asia holds 52% of global FDI (UNCTAD 2014), the region’s FDI inflow has been declining since 2011 (UN 2014). A significant cause of this FDI decline is from West Asia with -20% from 2012 (Asia top the world in FDI 2014). So, the economic ill of developing Asia is whose gain?

The companies mainly focuses of their innovation, strategic management and organizational structure to expand their business in international level.According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD, 2013), the outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) by firms from these economies accounted for 30.6% of the global (OFDI) flows, which was $1.39 trillion in 2012.The above statement is a crystal clear proof that emerging economies like China, Brazil, Russia and India are working towards the restructuring of their international business. MNC’s from emerging economies, although diverse, have displayed some common characteristics that differ from their counterparts from developed countries (Xueli Huang, 2015).Emerging economies lack so many aspects like the know-how of that particular industry, the technology required by these business enterprise, but in spite of all the lack of primary resources they have cherished because the home government of emerging economies plays a vital role in helping to get the resources for them to expand the business.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a venture made by an organization or element situated in one nation, into an organization or substance situated in an alternate nation. Outside immediate ventures vary generously from aberrant speculations, for example, portfolio streams, wherein abroad establishments put resources into values recorded on a country's stock trade. Elements making immediate ventures commonly have a huge level of impact and control over the organization into which the speculation is made. Open economies with talented workforces and great

The theories and study on the multinational corporations (MNCs) internationalisation has been prominent in the international business (IB) studies for many decades. Though earlier studies were dominated by firms’ from the advanced economy in Europe, USA, and Japan. Therefore, is not surprising that theories of MNCs internationalisation or foreign direct investment (FDI) would reflect on the behaviour and perspectives of advanced economies firms. Such theories, for example,

In the last few years, the emerging market countries such as China and India have become the most favoured destinations for FDI and investor confidence in these countries has soared. As per the FDI Confidence Index compiled by A.T. Kearney for 2005, China and
