As global markets continue to expand and competition continues to hasten, it is imperative that global business managers explore all potential investment opportunities. A country of potential foreign direct investment that may not be obvious to many global business managers is Kosovo. Kosovo is a small, sovereign nation located in a strategic area of the Balkan Peninsula, bordered by Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia. Kosovo serves as the gateway from the Balkan Peninsula to central and southern Europe. While securing its independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo has worked to attract foreign direct investment and be a contender in the global economy. This paper explores the cultural and social environment, the economic and political environment, and the business and market environment in Kosovo and provides an overview and evaluation of the foreign direct investment potential of Kosovo.

The growth of the service sector foreign direct investment (FDI) globally reflects an underlying need for appropriate regulation. As investors look into the African continent for investment opportunities, they need to find a regulated environment that can support their investments and related rights. This includes both intra-Africa FDI flows and investments that emanate out of the continent. The focus of this paper is on the Southern African Development Community (SADC). This paper will show that FDI will be critical for trade liberalization to be realised in the region. The findings of the paper point to the need for an institutional and regulatory framework in order to understand the consequences for investment flows. Where gaps are, appropriate cover needs to be found.

Globalization and technological innovations create investment opportunities for enterprises worldwide. While firms pursue foreign direct investment opportunities on a global basis, countries compete to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. Recent studies suggest that corruption negatively impacts FDI inflows and may act as a tax on foreign direct investment. Transparency International, a non-profit organization, publishes an annual index measuring the perceived level of corruption in countries all over the world. Countries competing for FDI inflows are ranked from least-corrupt to most-corrupt. This paper analyses FDI inflows between the least corrupt and most corrupt countries as determined by Transparency Internationals Corruption Perceptions Index. Using UNCTADs Inward FDI Potential Index and Inward FDI Performance Index this paper assesses and draws conclusions regarding the absolute amount of FDI inflows, FDI inflows adjusted for country size, and FDI inflow potential.
