This paper investigates and analyses two countries for their potential for foreign direct investment (FDI) by an original equipment manufacturer of electronic components. The investigation identified aspects of each country using such tools as PESTLE analysis and Porters Diamond factors. The investigation found that Chile is an attractive country in which the company should invest. Factors leading to that decision were issues such as the levels of employees skills, financial incentives offered access to trading blocs such as MERCOSUR and NAFTA. The Chilean culture was also investigated. Using Hofstedes four dimensions, it was found that the prevailing culture in Chile is strong uncertainty avoidance, a collectivist culture with high power distance. These dimensions were discussed in relation to the implications that they have for management styles and HR strategies. The report also made recommendations regarding the appropriate marketing strategy. It was suggested that a Global Marketing Strategy should be adopted.
