Analýza přímé zahraniční investice Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech, s.r.o

Abstract

Foreign direct investment is currently accepted worldwide as indispensable accelerator of economic growth, not only in developing countries. The Czech Republic, as well as other post-communist countries, struggled with a lack of capital at the beginning of the transformation process and during the 1990s. Due to inadequate savings, foreign capital was required to start the market economy. This thesis analyzes the factors that influenced the realization of foreign direct investment from Hyundai to the Moravian-Silesian Region and quantifying the impact of this investment to the public finances. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter focuses on the theoretical concept of foreign direkt investment. It analyzes the factors motivating the realization of foreign direct investment, the advantages and disadvantages of their implementation for the host country and the risk of the host country caused by the entry of a foreign investor. The second chapter is devoted to the development of foreign direct investment inflows resulting from foreign investors into the Czech economy. It characterizes the position of the agency Czechinvest and AFI and it deals with investment incentives and the evolution of rating in the Czech Republic. The third charter is aimed at the evaluation of the investment by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech Ltd. It analyzes the reasons for which the company decided to hold its investment in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The chapter focuses on customers and suppliers of the company, on investment incentives that were offered to the company when the investment was promised and on the assessment of the investment impact on the Moravian-Silesian Region and on public budgets.
