ABSTRACT

This chapter is the second of three case studies on FDI in the Caribbean. It examines the foreign investment decisions of four MNEs that operate in the information service industry of Barbados. The main objective of this study is to analyse the attractiveness of the business environment of Barbados to these four MNEs. In so doing, this chapter examines the factors that influence their motivations for engaging in FDI, their choice of location, and their selection of market entry mode.
