Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2006. / The aim of this study was to investigate reasons/factors affecting the decline in
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Botswana.
It has been observed that there are many factors that help explain why the inflow
of (FDI) is skewed towards developed nations. Principal amongst them is the
population factor, that is, bigger markets and the level of technology. In the case
of developing countries in general and Botswana in particular it was found out
that FDI was attracted by the prospects of making massive profits.
Therefore multinational companies invest mostly in developing countries which
are endowed with natural resources such as ()iI, diamonds, gold and platinum.
Although Botswana is endowed with diamonds and other natural resources, it
has not been attracting the much needed FDI. Reasons advanced for its failure
to attract good FDI include among others, small population, the bureaucratic civil
service, lack of good infrastructure and lack of well trained human resources in
the fields of science, engineering and financial services.
