title: The effectiveness of Investment Promotion Agencies to attract and preserve Multinationals to their country
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: The overall perception is that FDI brings economic development to a country and it increases competitiveness. Governments therefore actively encourage FDI attraction to their country. To do so, government agencies are established, the so called Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs). The level of FDI attraction to a country depends partly on the country’s investment climate and income level. This case-study research focuses on Sweden in particular to examine the efforts and effectiveness of their IPA, which is called Invest Sweden. To examine the specific case of Sweden’s IPA, interviews were held among representatives of Invest Sweden. Questions were based on, and results were compared to, what the literature suggests as being best practice. Also, interviews were held with representatives of Multinational Regional Headquarters in Sweden to examine their view on an IPA’s activities.
