Ireland in top 20 best FDI locations
The 2012 World Competitiveness Yearbook, published by highly respected Swiss-based business school, the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), places Ireland ahead of the likes of Japan, France, South Korea, China and Belgium in terms of international locations. Ireland’s ranking has risen from 24th in the past year.
In addition, the Lausanne- based IMD ranked Ireland highest in four specific areas; namely availability of skilled labour, flexibility and adaptability of workforce, investment incentives and attitudes towards globalisation.
