Abstract
This paper analyzes the factors influencing the choice between different FDI modes: acquisitions or green-field investments. From a sample of 117 outward foreign direct investment (FDI) decisions made by the Indian multinational Tata in 43 countries, our findings show that industry technological intensity, host country risk, host market attractiveness, previous international experience and the volume of exports from India to the host country, are determining factors of this choice.
