The location of foreign direct investment - Milford B. Green

The location of foreign direct investment is important because it defines the realignment of capital relationships between countries. Locational choice is ever expanding, making an examination of incentives, entry mode, location choice as cultural learning, and failure of foreign controlled plants long overdue. No other volume has directly addressed this vital question. Contributors from the diverse fields of economic geography, economics, finance and marketing come together to provide a comprehensive picture of foreign direct investment. The considerable diversity in viewpoint, method of analysis and geographic area held by the contributors provides a comprehensive treatment of foreign direct investment. The book will be of interest to students of geography and business alike, and also government regulators of foreign direct investment and local development officials hoping to attract foreign direct investment.
