Determinants of foreign direct investment in the Côte d'Ivoire

M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School. / The extant literature shows that in this new world economy, which is driven by globalization, developing countries generally and African countries in particular have shown less competiveness in their ability to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Whilst there is some literature on FDI determinants for developing countries, there is a far greater emphasis on Asian and European countries. The lack of sufficient scholarly investigation of FDI determinants in regards to developing countries in Africa provides an important rationale for focusing on this region. This study proposed to partially address this lacuna by assessing the case of one African country namely Côte d'Ivoire. Specifically, the purpose of the study was to identify the most critical factors that would enhance the capability of Côte D' Ivoire to attract FDI for its own development.
