Any foreign direct investment (FDI) decision taken by MNCs depends on two factors as base and motivation. Without the base that the host country offers to investors, especially the governance infrastructure, any motivation behind the FDI decision may not put into practice. Governance infrastructure of a country should be defined and measured by its politic, economic, administrative and democratic stand against internal and external events. It is found that improving governance infrastructure as a base factor attracts higher amount of FDI inflows in all country clusters. It is also found that FDI made into advanced countries are efficiency seeking, FDI made into developing countries are market seeking, and FDI made into least developed countries are resource seeking. Finally, it is found that a motivation factor alone may not be sufficient for MNCs to take FDI decision since they also observe governance infrastructure in the host countries, and any deterioration in governance infrastructure leads to decreasing amount of FDI inflows.
