“…Scholarly interest is now growing in the locational aspects of FDI, and in how location influences TNCs' competitive advantages. A number of studies Hill and Munday, 1995;Guimaraes et al, 2000;Yang et al, 2000) have sought to identify the main influences on their choice of FDI location in developed countries, especially at the national (Wheeler and Mody, 1992; and regional Head et al, 1999) level. Many of these studies have focused on the US, although some (such as Guimaraes et al, 2000 andFerrer, 1998) have been based in Europe.…”

This paper examines the main factors that attract inbound foreign direct investment (FDI) at the UK regional level, using econometric data from five sample UK regions (the South East, West Midlands, North West, Wales and Scotland) broadly representing the country's regional economic divide. The findings indicate that regional and national (but not EU-level) factors, linked to several underlying strategic determinants help determine the regional distribution of inbound FDI, and its inter-regional variation. The paper concludes that governmental policymakers at the national and regional levels can have an important role to play in drawing targeted FDI inflows to the UK regions.

The flows of global FDI have increased substantially in the recent years. Many developing countries have improved living conditions, thanks to the great inflow of FDI. Everybody agrees that the effects from FDI inflows are positive and generate strong economic impulses through the economy of the country receiver. Those effects make the countries compete each other to win more foreign capital.That is why many studies are dedicated on exploring the determinants of FDI flows. The policy makers need to know what makes markets attractive for foreign companies and how each factor impact on FDI inflows. The main subject of this paper is exploring the impact of ICT on FDI inflows. In the frame of the effort it will be analyzed the data from many developing as well as developed countries. It will be made a comparative analyze of the level of the ICT in a certain country, with the level of the FDI inflows. According to the findings in this paper there is a significant correlation between the FDI inflows and the level of ICT development, which means that the foreign investors consider ICT as important factor that determines FDI location. The findings also suggest that the correlation is more intensive when foreign companies invest in
