The sturdiness of a national competitive advantage is particularly rooted on the quality of the prevailing investment climate.The more favorable the investment climate,the more economic,social and infrastructural benefits are aggregated within a subsequent dynamic of ascendant growth.Therefore improving the investment climate of national economies has received extensive attention by policy makers and scholars around the world.This study explores the"how"of building a dynamic investment climate based on good governance principles in the specific case of Cameroon which is a poor performer on investment environment attractiveness.Using a multiple case study analysis,this work suggest that for obtaining a dynamic investment environment,Cameroon should put more efforts on a set of institutional reforms to asphyxiate extremely harmful determinants of bad governance—such as corruption,administrative bottleneck,weak legal system,patrimonialism,and inefficient civil service—based on good governance principles and in addition to lessons learned from better experiences of investment climate.The purpose of this exploration is to capture useful lessons likely to be reproduced in the context of other developing countries such as Cameroon.
