Despite these risks, however, the growth in FDI is expected to continue, although, perhaps, at a slower pace in line with global economic growth. In fact, these challenges may be encouraging companies to pursue international operations, specifically to mitigate these risks by diversifying their sources of revenue, capital investment and talent and by seeking to reduce costs.
As private companies expand internationally, or enter the global market for the first time, most will face a relatively steep learning curve. For a start, many private companies tend to maintain tight control over their operations and often rely on the personal involvement of a small number of senior executives in most important decisions. Expending internationally will require these companies to develop additional capabilities, and the mindset, to manage effectively their dispersed operations located far from headquarters.
Equaly important, global succsess requires a disciplined process that ensures companies do not focus only on a single goal, such as increased sales, cost reduction or additional FDI avenues, but instead take a comprehensive of all opportunities - and risks - of each international investment.
