Abstract

The paper presents an integrated indicator of the potential for transnationalisation, which is the average of five standardised variables that characterise the degree of resource potential for internationalisation in the form of transnational development trade, as well as the algorithm of application of these indicators in order to rank countries according to the degree of development and usage of their existing potential. The analysis makes it possible to state that the level of the actual inflow of FDI to Montenegro is higher than the level of its potential for transnationalisation. The evidence of FDI inflows relative to GDP makes it possible to classify Albania as the leader in transnational business. Evidence of FDI inflows to Bosnia and Herzegovina confirms its characteristics of the transnationalisation potential as an “outsider” to transnationalisation. All other studied countries fell into the category of countries with underestimated investment potential in attracting foreign direct investment, i.e. the potential for transnationalisation (domestic).
