Dr. Ziva Rozen-Bakher’s Blog on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade

In this blog, I focus each time on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade in a certain country or territory in terms of how Location Factors (Political, Economic, Technological, Ecological, Legal, and Cultural) and Entry Modes (e.g. M&As, Export, and Greenfield) impact the attractiveness - or vice versa - the risks of FDI and International Trade in the specific country or territory.
