Innovation is an essential component of a company’s survival in this competitive world of business. Firms in free and competitive marketplaces are compelled to adopt more efficient production techniques and provide customers with new and improved products. This research examines the impact of competition on innovation in free and competitive marketplaces. The study is motivated by the Russian government’s goal of increasing productivity of small and medium-sixed enterprises (SMEs) to 32% of gross domestic product. The study employed the Logit model to analyse the data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey. The findings reveal that fierce competition has a significant negative effect on innovation. Specifically, competition reduces product, process, and new product innovation by 5%, 3%, and 3.5% respectively. The step-by-step innovation model indicates that competition stimulates innovation in firms operating in contestable markets. Additionally, higher levels of competition negatively affect new product innovation. These results suggest that intense competition may impede firms’ ability to innovate, particularly in the areas of product development, process improvement, and introducing new products. However, competition acts as a driving force that compels firms to innovate in order to maintain their competitiveness in the market. Consequently, increased competition may lead to a diversion of resources towards research and development (R&D), potentially limiting firms’ capacity to introduce new products.

“…Mostly, the phrase human capital will be used to refer to labour force quality. Workers that are well trained would be able to manage machinery and technology more efficiently and adapt more easily to new developments than low-skilled workers, resulting in a higher labour productivity, which has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on FDI inflows into host nations (Woodward, 1992;Axarloglou, 2004). Some researchers have stated in their studies that human capital is critical in attracting FDI into the host country (e.g., Iwai and Thompson, 2012;Ta et al, 2021).…”

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has long been associated with globalisation. It enables host countries to achieve economic growth by providing possibilities for multinational corporations (MNCs) to internationalise their business operations. To comprehend FDI, one must first grasp the fundamental motivations that drive a company to invest abroad. The objective of this research is to identify the key elements that influence a company's decision when selecting a location for FDI. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review and four different databases were considered, namely ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, Journal Storage (JSTOR) and Web of Science (WOS). The findings indicated that six theories can be associated to the factors influencing the choice of FDI locations, namely capital market theory, transaction cost theory, product life cycle theory, internationalisation theory, the eclectic paradigm, and entry mode theory. The findings also revealed that there are four factors that would influence the choice of FDI locations: (1) micro factors; (2) macro factors; (3) strategic factors; and (4) sector-specific factors. Future research should focus on determining how the factors influencing FDI location selection differ according to the types of FDI, which include vertical, horizontal, and conglomerate FDI. In addition, research should also focus on how the identified factors can affect the FDI inflows in host countries across various business industries.
