Abstract:
This below text treats on foreign direct investments topic. First of all, the foreign direct investments origin was there about three groups of theories, the first one- international trade based one (i.e. works of David Ricardo and Neoclassic Synthesis/HOS), the second one - product life cycle one (i.e. works of Robert Vernon) and the so-called and finally third one- “eclectic paradigm" (i.e. John Dunning) treating from the viewpoint of enterprise (i.e. microeconomic) development up to its international implemented stage. And the last might have continued on a large diversity of theories on multinationals.  On the contrary, our paper will approach a new view point, much simpler, on foreign direct investments flows and stocks at the international scale, as exclusively. This simple description will though challenge the above theories and first by a picture and a few facts reflecting description on all understanding. Theories above might see some of their conclusions here and there completed and/or even contradicted by this paper in context.
