Abstract
In pursuit of business scope expansion or global implementation of business strategies, corporates always look for the opportunities of overseas project investment. However, during the process of overseas project investment, they have to face more uncertainties comparing with investing domestically, for example, rules and regulations, cultural background, and currency fluctuation of the target country etc. Consequently, it is essential for corporates to undergo a full-scaled risk evaluation before the practices of overseas project investment, so as to properly manage all the risk factors, set control strategies or enhance the success probability of project investment. Therefore, the means to build a risk evaluation model for overseas project investment is an extremely important issue for the corporates before practically undergo an overseas project investment, so as to consider all kinds of risk factors accurately and effectively. This study adopts related literatures published locally and internationally, and analyses into the risk factors provided by corporates having related experiences. With the intention of providing benefits to corporates in times of overseas investment, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) are then employed to build a scientific and systematic risk evaluation model.
