Investing in Emerging Markets in the Time of Technological Changes

The thesis analyzes the impact of technological change on investment in emerging markets. The analysis uses quantitative research methods such as correlation analysis, regression analysis, and descriptive statistics. Statistics of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) were taken as the basis for the analysis, the main goal of which is to identify the relationships and degree of influence between foreign direct investment (FDI) and technological factors in order to provide recommendations for increasing investment attractiveness. The structure of the work is built around two main components: identifying technological factors that influence investment decisions when investing in emerging markets using literature review and analyzing the impact of technological factors on FDI inflows in emerging countries using the BRICS countries as an example. The results of the analysis showed that technological factors play an important role in shaping investment trends in emerging markets. At the same time, economic and political factors also have a significant impact on investment decisions. Thus, the creation of a more sustainable state development policy, where all the above-mentioned factors are taken into account, is more likely to have a positive impact on the inflow of FDI.
