The finding reveals a significant difference in information and communication technology export and foreign direct investment in different economies. Also, businesses in lower economies can compete in markets and attract foreign investors. Markets in developed economies lean toward standardization compared to their counterpart, while taking advantage of high population, innovation and diverse culture in low economies would ensure market sustainability. However, adopting mitigation strategies in both economies would help navigate bottlenecks in business establishment. JEL: I10, M10, 032
