Based on the results of this research, a closer look at the relationships, the significance of impact and the arrangement of the strategies, produces the conceptual model. * The foreign partner that makes the initial investment can repatriate the return on the investment (at a pre -agreed fixed rate) through goods and services produced by the project.
