Abstract

The world economy is in constant change, the action of multiple forces is sometimes divergent. Transnational corporations and foreign direct investment (FDI) are one of the most important forces contributing to the remodeling of the world economy and host countries. In this article, the authors focused their analysis on the factors favoring the attraction of FDI by the host countries and the motivation of the transnational companies to investment abroad. In the final part of the article, the authors analyzed the flows of FDI for the period 2000-2014. The objectives of this article are to detect changes that have been made to companies' determinants to invest abroad and the evolution of FDI flows, given the period of global economic crises.
