Abstract

Foreign investment is essential to economic growth and industrialization in developing nations like Nigeria. This research examines the evolving landscape of foreign investment in Nigeria by analyzing its evolution, key patterns, industry-specific aspects, and their impact on management practices. It investigates the financial outcomes of foreign-owned firms, macroeconomic influences, and the strategic management practices of multinational enterprises. Using a quantitative research design, this study employs financial metrics, market analysis, and regression models to assess investment success. Findings reveal that while foreign investment boosts firm profitability, sector-specific and macroeconomic conditions present both opportunities and challenges. Sectors like telecommunications and consumer goods yield high returns, whereas energy and healthcare face constraints that hinder productivity. Furthermore, macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth, inflation, and exchange rate fluctuations significantly affect investment returns. These insights highlight the need for effective management strategies, including corporate governance, risk mitigation, and market adaptation. To enhance foreign direct investment, policies should focus on stabilizing exchange rates, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and fostering economic conditions that support sustained investment growth.
