This paper examines the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the host countries, and begins by defining globalisation and FDI. The paper provides information on horizontal, vertical, and conglomerate FDI, as well as discussing different classifications of FDI. The paper then discusses the benefits of FDI, which is followed by an examination of the employment effect, the balance of payment (BOP) effect, and the effect on competition. National sovereignty and autonomy is examined and the paper concludes by summarising all of the effects of FDI on the host country.
