ABSTRACT

The central aim of this study is to analyse the factors that influence the motivations, locational choices and market entry mode selections of MNEs making investment in three Caribbean countries. To this end, a triangulation of methodologies was used: a quantitative method, which was based on an analysis of the responses made to a mailed questionnaire, together with the qualitative method of case studies, was employed. To draw some broad conclusions from this study, it is necessary to marry the results obtained from these two methods. Thus, the following section will compare the results derived from the quantitative and qualitative investigations.
