Host country environmental factors are considered to be the primary issues in investment decision. Myanmar practiced a closed door-economic system for more than 26 years. In November 1988, the new military government introduced "the Union of Myanmar Foreign Investment Law" to ease the flow of foreign capital, technology, and management skills. Interested foreign investors have come to Myanmar looking for investment opportunities. The aims of the research are to study the country environment and motives for forming joint ventures in Myanmar. Based on the analysis, the success and failure factors towards the foreign investment have been identified. According to the findings labor cost and the potential domestic market are the main attractions to foreign investors. As for local partner the main reason is to generate the foreign exchange.
