| Summary: | 碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 國際企業學系 === 100 === With the continuing development of modern technology and con-venient transportations, the distance between countries is shrinking which make the world become a global village. In addition, the economic and trading situation in many countries are getting open, therefore, many enterprises have been relocated or based in different countries in order to expand the business, obtain more resources and promote international business operation.
Different regions in different countries have their own culture background and ways to doing thing. Therefore, it is really important for enterprises on how to choose the right place for their investment and business expansion. This study is to explore some essential factors for overseas investment location. According to the previous investment or trading experience, is it worth to do the further business expansion in some country? Moreover, will the differences of cultures and distances between countries affect enterprises’ thoughts?
My thesis adopts Qualitative Analysis. I interviewed the supervisors of three different small and medium enterprises and asked their personal experiences and opinions about the overseas investment. My brief three conclusions from the interviews are their previous investment experience and knowledge is considered a plus to invest in the same country. A similar culture does not have a significant consideration for enterprises choosing the investing locations. Also, the distance between the parent company and the overseas investing country does not directly affect to the enterprises.
