Australian industry has quickly extended its reach into international markets over the last fifteen years. Foreign Direct Investment has grown particularly quickly. This paper focuses on four questions: What motivates Australian multinationals to invest abroad? Why do they find the UK to be the most attractive location? Do the investments lead to a reduction in exporting? Does foreign production follow an export mode? Survey research showed exporting costs to play an important role in all these issues.
