The global landscape of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has shifted dramatically in recent years. Protectionism, COVID-19, and the push for sustainability have disrupted traditional FDI flows beyond traditional manufacturing sectors and created new opportunities and challenges. With emerging economies increasingly competing for investment and developed countries reassessing their roles in global supply chains, there is a need for a fresh perspective on how FDI is adapting to this new reality. Amadi sheds light on the varying impact and strategies of FDI in different economic settings, including case studies from key countries like Nigeria, India, the UK, Kenya, and Vietnam, offering comparative insights into how FDI is reshaping all economies.
The International Studies in Small Business and Entrepreneurship Research Series opens a new chapter, as it seeks to advance discussions that consolidate conventional knowledge. The purpose of this initiative is to invite new reflections on the nature of entrepreneurship and small business across contexts. The collections in this series aim to improve the theoretical rigour and practical relevance of the field. The emphasis is to advance contemporary contributions that matter for small business and entrepreneurship, directing us to underexplored and under-theorised contexts.
Foreign Direct investment is a critical tool for any local economic growth and development. Most FDI books maintain a general context and focus. Therefore, this book, offering individual case studies on selected economies and sectors is essentially novel. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and scholars in the field of International Business, Finance, Economics and Management. It is equally an invaluable resource for local economic policy makers for driving local economic growth and development.

I have long admired Dr Chibuzo Amadi’s ability to see beyond statistics and systems, to the people whose lives are shaped by them. In this book, he presents a comprehensive account of Foreign Direct Investment as a global capital with local impacts, that directly shapes human welfare and economic trajectories. This book is not only intelligent and timely, it is born of a genuine concern for the world and economies we are building together.
