MOST INFLUENTIAL FACTORS IMPACTING FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT – A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

In the last several decades, foreign direct investment has reached record highs in the history in international economic relations. All countries, developed, as well as developing, have been competing to attract increasing amounts of foreign capital, some of which have been more successful in doing so than others. The question is: what are the most important factors affecting the decisions of the biggest global investors, multinational corporations, on choosing the location (country) in which to invest? After the 1990-s, more and more companies from developing countries, such as Croatia, have become foreign direct investors. There is a question whether the same factors impact their decisions to invest abroad as they do for the largest companies in the world. The paper presents research into key factors impacting the decisions of the largest international corporations, comparing them with the factors influencing Croatian companies investing abroad.
