مقاربة لنظريات الاستثمار الأجنبي المباشر مع الإشارة إلى نظرية المواءمة المؤسسية

الملخص EN

This paper attempts to present some of the most important theories of foreign direct investment, and to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, in order to contribute to understanding the determinants of foreign direct investment that are looking for the motives of multinational companies to invest in another country.

many theories have tried to explain the reason for the existence of these companies, and the reasons for their choice of different forms of investment abroad, but they did not reach a comprehensive unified theory that explains all its types and motives.

we will try to shed light on those that contributed to enriching the literature on foreign direct investment and focus on some modern theories that adopt the institutional approach in explaining the attractiveness of countries to foreign direct investment.
