The connections are to increase their innovativeness and competitiveness. Remaining in an innovation network has a lot of potential advantages regarding an innovation process: access to a bigger database of ideas, sharing risk, sharing innovation costs, access to new markets and technologies, synergy effect. Such networks are very flexible and, if necessary, make it possible to move the whole production between countries quickly, which reduces the risk connected with a political or economic situation in a given country.

This paper aims to deepen and differentiate superficial and all too 'smooth' depictions of economic globalization by probing more deeply into social dynamics of conflict and resistance within Transnational Corporations. Conceiving of these as interaction systems, it is shown that (1) the living practice of organizational life is much more obstinate than is commonly assumed and makes use of diverse strategies to enact formal as well as informal resistance, and (2) that these social dynamics are both fuelled by and strengthen what, following Richard Sennett, can be called the 'power of place'. Thus, strategic globalization emerges as inextricably intertwined with social dynamics of localization.

The article presents a summary of contemporary trends in Foreign Direct Investment, with a particular focus on conclusions arising thereof for chosen Balkan states. Its aim is to identify the main factors influencing the creation of “a positive investment climate” in host countries trying to attract greater FDI, which, when accompanied by proper economic policy, will transform local economies and enable their full integration within the European Union. The article starts with a short definition of FDI, followed by a description of the main factors influencing the choice of where to locate investments, including geography, the socio-political situation, legal and tax related issues. Theoretical considerations are concluded with a case study presenting the findings of preliminary analysis conducted by the author for a company headquartered in Cracow and operating on the IT sector concerning the market expansion into the Balkan Region. This case study examines the pros and cons of a region striving to attract more FDI, and presents the following two main findings: – the chosen Balkan states (Albania, Montenegro and the FYR of Macedonia) have significantly liberalised procedures resulting in a very short period needed for establishing a company as well as eased tax regulations on their territories, which are main incentives for foreign investors; – the short history of socio-economic stability in the region is, for the time being, the main obstacle to attracting greater FDI to the region.
