Abstract: Due to the increasing competition from China and Southeast Asia countries, many Taiwanese companieshave to invest in a foreign country in order to maintain a competitive advantage. However, the risk in foreign investmentis much higher than in domestic investment because most of the companies are not familiar with the situation and cultureof the foreign country. Therefore, the company has to be caution in making a foreign investment decision. The objectiveof this study is to investigate the investment motivation and managerial problems of Cambodia's Taiwanese companies byusing the questionnaire method. The methodology used in this study is a questionnaire approach. Totally 46 valid repliesfrom companies were received. The results showed that motivations for more than half of Taiwanese companies are noexchange control and developing market. The major problems faced by Taiwanese companies are: poor administrativeeciency, insucient infrastructure, insucient power supply and high cost, diculty in managing employees due tocultural di erences. Hopefully, the result of this study can be used as a reference for Taiwanese companies seekinginvestment in Cambodia. More updated information is needed in further research to compare the current and earliersituations.
