The share of approximately 2 percentage of the County’s FDI inflow in the total Croatian FDI inflow from 1993 to 2001 indicates an undeveloped and unattractive competitive profile of the County. On the other hand, it also indicates that there is enough space to increase this share regarding the potential attractive areas emerging from the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the County, and thereby, identified opportunities and threats. Furthermore, the attractiveness of the County is also determined by the attractiveness of its broader environment as well as by the long run benefit and outlook estimations of foreign investors. Considering stated facts altogether, only moderate optimism is in the place. - Puni tekst (Hrvatski) Str. 324 - 358 (pdf, 470.84 KB)
