The true benefits of the foreign direct investment (FDI) have often been questioned. It is known that in the short run FDI can lead to unemployment and a crowding out effect, and in the long run to an increase in foreign borrowing. However, FDI can also lead to an increase in real economy growth through positive spill-overs of technology and know-how, as well as stimulate productivity. This work will examine the advantages and disadvantages of FDI, and use the EBRD project in St. Petersburg as an example. The work concludes that the true benefits of the existing FDI and future FDI will depend on the amount of restructuring that the Russian government will enforce.

This dissertation evolves around the Czech Republic and what FDI has for impact on the Economic growth. Especially in reference to Technology and productivity spillovers FDI has on economic growth. For a general understanding of FDI in relation to economic growth, determinants can be used to evaluate the effect. Literature shows how technology and productivity spillovers, employment creation, capital accumulation, and export promotion relate to FDI. Other determinants of growth are human capital, government expenditure, population size and openness. This study focuses especially on two hypotheses, in the form of a case study. First hypothesis is about the technological and productivity spillover from FDI lead to an increase in economic growth in the Czech Republic. The second hypothesis discussed about the Czech government that can be an extra incentive for economic growth. Formulas show different solutions to different questions in economic growth. The research discusses the KeynesÌ GDP model, the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), as well as SolowÌs Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and Multi Factor Productivity (MFP), and Cob-Douglas elastic growth equation, that includes technology development into the equation.

Since the economic reforms in China began in 1978, China has shown rapid economic progress. India on the other hand, began its economic reforms very late but with development of a strong IT base and with possibilities for large labour market and huge consumer base, it is slowly transforming itself as one of the most attractive regions for investment options in Asia leaving behind China in its ability to attract FDI. This study compares the advantages and disadvantages of investment in India and shows why MNEs may consider India as a better option for investment than its neighbouring China. The social, cultural, political, economic and cultural factors are highlighted in the discussion.

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.

The present paper discusses the key factors that attract foreign companies to enter East European countries. The current statistics shows that the major FDI flows are accounted for Hungary, Czech and Poland, whereas the statistics of Russian and Ukraine share of overall inflow of FDI does not show very impressive figures. Relying on various theoretical frameworks of FDI determinants the paper evaluates the most important factors which have determined the success of one country and have become potential impediments for inbound FDI in the other. The paper seeks to develop "contingent" framework, implying for using different theories rather focusing on a single one. This approach is based on the assumption that macroeconomic, political, legal, social and technological processes of these countries were of heterogeneous nature and resulted in different outcomes. The magnitude of various factors involved in the establishment of the investment climate creates a complex phenomenon, which can hardly be covered by a single theory. That is why the writer is going to apply both PEST and Porters' diamond model in combination with various theories in attempt to identify the determinants of inbound FDI trends in these countries.
