Abstract

Foreign direct investment boosts economic growth in Romania, through capital injected into the local economy and the creation new jobs. With the presence of multinational companies, managerial knowledge and technologies are transferred to the host country. Another important aspect is the competition that they make to local businesses, motivating them to align with the new standards to stay attractive. Innovations, organizational knowledge, processes of research and development of new products and services, as well as new technologies of production, management, communication or transfer of information brought by foreign companies to Romanian territory contribute to the increase of the productivity of local companies due to the established interactions.
