Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Government agencies alone often lack the necessary characteristics – flexibility, understanding of business needs, etc. – to be effective at promotion of foreign direct investment (FDI) unless they find some way to collaborate with a private agency, or some other way to develop effective strategic linkages with the business community. The Irish Development Agency (IDA) is a case of a government agency that does not have this sort of relationship with a private agency, but has succeeded remarkably well. In comparing the IDA with investment promotion agencies in Chile (wholly government-run), Costa Rica, and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (examples of public-private collaboration), this paper argues that IDA's success results largely from its unique, quasi-governmental structure. For example, this gives the IDA the flexibility to pay higher salaries than a standard government agency, allowing it to recruit personnel with the business backgrounds and/or skills that are necessary for effective investment promotion. At the same time, IDA's links to the government enable it to influence legislation in order to advance its mission, for example, getting laws on tax incentives pushed through the legislature, in ways that would not be possible for private agencies.
