company
It does not involve obtaining a degree of
control in a company

22. CONCLUSION
• The last two decade of the 20th century witnessed a dramatic world-wide increase in
foreign direct investment (FDI), accompanied by a marked change in the attitude of
most developing countries towards inward FDI.
• As against a highly suspicious attitude of these countries towards inward FDI in the
past, most countries now regard FDI as beneficial for their development efforts and
compete with each other to attract it.
• Such shift in attitude lies in the changes in political and economic systems that have
occurred during the closing years of the last century.
