The authors investigated the impact of foreign direct investment on economically developed and developing countries, and also on transition economy countries as far as technology transfer is concerned. The results show a significant foreign direct investment influence on the economic growth of developing countries and transition economy countries. The present paper examines inflows of inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during 2005-2016. There has been research conducted on the determinants of FDI inflows for developed and developing countries, but little has been done concerning this issue especially in the case of transition economies. The authors consider the possibilities the FDI inflows from investor-countries in the area of innovation and technology transfer in the years 2010-2015. In this case, Asia deserves attention. FDI allows technology transfer from developed countries to further extract surplus from the developing countries and transition countries.

Zbadano wpływ bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych w krajach rozwiniętych gospodarczo, rozwijających się oraz kraje o gospodarce przejściowej w sferze transferu technologii. Wyniki wskazują na znaczący wpływ bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych na wzrost gospodarczy w krajach rozwijających. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje wpływy bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych (FDI) w latach 2005-2016. Przeprowadzono badania nad determinantami napływów BIZ do krajów rozwiniętych i rozwijających się, ale niewiele zrobiono w tej kwestii, szczególnie dla gospodarek przechodzących transformację. Rozważono możliwości napływu bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych z krajów-inwestorów w obszarze transferu innowacji i technologii w latach 2010-2015. W tym przypadku Azja zasługuje na uwagę. Bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne umożliwiają transfer technologii w krajach rozwiniętych w celu dalszego wydobywania nadwyżek z krajów rozwijających się i krajów transformujących się.
