Abstract
The questionnaire survey conducted for this research project shows crosscountry differences in the patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI), in the motives for and performance of investment, and in investors’ assessments of the local business environment. Following a brief introduction to the survey methodology, we discuss the investors and review their entry motives, entry modes and performance. Generally, we find fewer changes in entry pattern over the period of the 1990s than expected, but also uncover some interesting differences across the three countries in our study, and between European emerging economies (EEE) and other emerging economies.
