Foreign Direct Investment Consulting
Almost 90 percent of the U.S. inbound FDI flows in 2010 came from firms domiciled in Canada, Europe and Japan. Only 2.1 percent of the total came from firms domiciled in Brazil (1.2 percent), China (0.6 percent), and India (0.4 percent). There’s a huge potential to be a first-mover and capture the flows from the nations that will soon dominate the global economy. The last two years, Chinese FDI in the U.S. has grown at 130% annually. China’s FDI in the coming decade is projected at $2 trillion.
Given the potential size and growth rate of emerging market FDI in the U.S., competition for emerging market FDI is growing fiercer. Universal Consensus Foreign Direct Investment Consulting help communities, regions, and economic development organizations to assess their current capabilities for attaining inbound FDI from emerging markets. Based on our findings we develop strategies and frameworks which help clients significantly improve their ability to attract inbound emerging market FDI.
THE UNIVERSAL CONSENSUS SOLUTION – Foreign Direct Investment Consulting
Leveraging this process with Universal Consensus cross-cultural capabilities gives our clients a strategic competitive edge. Few have added the cross-cultural component to Economic Development and Foreign Direct Investment Consulting, something that puts most communities and economic development organizations at a performance deficit. Cross-cultural components will impact all stages of the foreign investment process – the region’s sales & marketing effort; the investor’s decision-making process; negotiations; and the actual implementation.
Universal Consensus and our partners have extensive knowledge of emerging market economic development and Foreign Direct Investment Consulting. We integrate this knowledge with our proprietary assessment and execution model, the Business Model of Intercultural Analysis (BMIA), which has a proven track-record of significantly improving the success of cross-cultural partnerships among international stakeholders.
