The Great FDI Hustle

Mark O'Connell has worked for international organisations, governments and private companies around the world advising on FDI during a 40 year career. In this lively and captivating book peppered with real examples, case studies and anecdotes, he lifts the lid on an industry which can seem opaque and complex to the outsider. The policies to pursue FDI deals, the means to attract them, the motives for the corporate location decision and the impact on the host communities are not always what they seem, and this expose is an entertaining and enlightening journey from an insider's view. As well as supporting the world's most successful EDOs, Mark's work includes advising and supporting leading multinational corporations such as Amazon, Google, IBM, Abbott, Norbrook, Intel, Carrier, Facebook (Meta), Volkswagen, Airbus, Tata, Nissan, LG, and Samsung.
