Shared Service Centers and motives for entering the Central European market
Dagmar Grachová
Abstract
Foreign direct investments (FDI) have a great importance for the development and progress of smaller countries. Foreign investors are motivated by individual proper-ties that result from the basic characteristics of the country. The article is focused on defining shared service centres (SSCs) and motives that lead to companies to build centres in the central Europe and determining the dependence between selected factors and FDI inflows in the services sector in examined countries. In the first part of the article, SSCs are defined, and we also mention basic factors that lead to the building the SSCs in Central Europe. In the next part of the article, the dependence between selected factors and FDI is examined. The subject of this article is the ex-amination of three factors, including the amount of workforce in countries, level of education and last but not least, the cost of the labor force in the countries under consideration. At the end are confirmed / refutable hypotheses on mutual depend-ence and defined facts that could affect research results.
