Tóm tắt

The considerable growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) across countries in the world has been considered as a phenomenon which has attracted the attention of a number of researchers over recent decades. In the literature, there are a number of various theories explaining factors that motivate FDI to flow from a country to another. The paper aims to review and analyse theories of FDI determinants, namely market-power theory, product-life-cycle theory, oligopolistic-reaction theory, currency area theory, risk diversification theory, Kojima’s theory, vertical FDI theory, horizontal FDI theory, internalisation theory and eclectic theory. Among the theories, the eclectic theory is considered as the most comprehensive theory explaining determinants of FDI of multinational firms.
