The model adopted was based on a previous study on FDI determinants in Malaysia. Results of multiple regression analysis to determine whether FDI determinants in Iran are of the same significance as they are for Malaysia showed that none of the determinants under the study (economic growth, growth of export, exchange rate and balance of payment), except for government expenditure, is significant in affecting the flow of FDI in the case of Iran. On the basis of these results, the conclusion is drawn that these typical determinants fail to reflect the case of Iran. The study argues that one needs to look at Iran from a different perspective of FDI as the country is an outlier in the global economy owing to international sanctions. 2014-06-12T07:29:09Z 2014-06-12T07:29:09Z 2014 Article Journal for Global Business Advancement, vol.7 (1), 2014, pages 38-54 1746-9678 (online) 1746-966X (print) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35422 http://inderscience.metapress.com/content/wx3321qm17qv5271/?genre=article&issn=1746-966X&volume=7&issue=1&spage=38 10.1504/JGBA.2014.058882 en Inderscience Publishers
