Abstract

The growth of international business facilitates foreign direct investment (FDI) and is driven by economic and technological factors. While foreign investors benefit by utilizing their assets and resources efficiently through FDI, the recipients benefit by acquiring technologies and by getting involved in international production and trade networks. It is now widely recognized that economic uncertainties compel a firm to look for markets in other geographical locations. For example, an unstable exchange rate, high interest rate, poor human capital, restrictions on trade and technological backwardness of the country all contribute to the increased cost of production in the home market. Because of the higher production cost, firms may engage in FDI to exploit location advantages of a country. This phenomenon is increasingly being observed in emerging markets, including India.
