The thesis topic: foreign direct investments flow from the Czech Republic abroad. The thesis deals with the general specifications of foreign direct investments, their classification and measurement, theoretical concepts, localization theories and factors. Furthermore, the thesis is focused on economic and political conditions in the V4 countries and the Netherlands with regard to possible localization factors. The main part is the analysis of foreign direct investments flow from the Czech Republic abroad in the years 2008 -- 2013 by industry sector and territory. The key industry sector is Financial intermediation, except insurance and pension funding. The most attractive country in long-term is the Netherlands. There is also mentioned Czech institutional structure -- especially CzechInvest, ČEB a EGAP and subsequently a few concrete examples of FDI from different industry segments. The target of this thesis is to find main localization factors and verify the hypothesis if a dominant factor / group of factors exists. The hypothesis is verified and the dominant localization factor is tax and legislative environment in the destination country.
