Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a part of broader activities bringing internationalization and economic integration of businesses worldwide. Trade among nations dates from ancient times. In the recent historic past Dutch, English, French, Portuguese and Spanish firms promoted international trade in their overseas colonies. Gradually, those firms started establishing production facilities in home markets. These activities can be regarded as initial FDI undertakings. Contemporary FDI started in the early 1950s when multinational firms began creating production networks spreading all over the world.
