Emerging Country Multinationals in EU Regions Follow Unique Investment Strategies

They found that these companies have different reasons for choosing locations compared to companies from advanced countries. Developing country companies are attracted to places with lots of technology and other foreign investments in the same industry. They care less about efficiency. The study looked at over 22,000 projects by companies from Europe, North America, and developing countries in Europe.
