Abstract
The differences denoted by the MNCs in their preferences for the various elements of the Investment Attraction Package of the three focus countries have been commented upon under the foregoing headings related to initial investors motivation and quantum-level of investment. It is via the comparison of segmented groups that the significance of the dependent variables are brought to light. It is the differences in the dependent variables that are the object of the search. Discovery of differences permits focus on customers needs and fosters the attempts to understand. For continuity and focus of this section, the findings of differences in the IAP preferences of initial-investment MNCs as related to strategic motivation, to quantum, and to quantum/motivation are discussed under the appropriate “Motivation” heading. The interpretations of findings for Hypothesis #2 (motivation) are included with the findings of Hypothesis #3 (quantum-level and motivation) in order to increase their specificity and to add dimension.
