Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's multinational enterprises face a spell of rough weather, political economist Ray Vernon argues, not only from the host countries in which they have established their subsidiaries, but also from their home countries. Such enterprises--a few thousand in number, including Microsoft, Toyota, IBM, Siemens, Samsung, and others--now generate about half of the world's industrial output and half of the world's foreign trade; so any change in the relatively benign climate in which they have operated over the past decade will create serious tensions in international economic relations. The warnings of such a change are already here. In the United States, interests such as labor are increasingly hostile to what they see as the costs and uncertainties of an open economy. In Europe, those who want to preserve the social safety net and those who feel that the net must be dismantled are increasingly at odds. In Japan, the talk of hollowing out takes on a new urgency as the country's lifetime employment practices are threatened and as public and private institutions are subjected to unaccustomed stress. The tendency of multinationals in different countries to find common cause in open markets, strong patents and trademarks, and international technical standards has been viewed as a loss of national sovereignty and a weakening of the nation-state system, producing hostile reactions in home countries. The challenge for policy makers, Vernon argues, is to bridge the quite different regimes of the multinational enterprise and the nation-state. Both have a major role to play, and yet must make basic changes in their practices and policies to accommodate each other.

Book Synopsis Multinational Enterprises in Asian Development by : Premachandra Athukoralge
Download or read book Multinational Enterprises in Asian Development written by Premachandra Athukoralge and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable product of analytical formulation, data disaggregation and methodological rigour. Anthony P. D Costa, Pacific Affairs Cross-border investment is a key driver of the globalisation process and multinational enterprises a key driver of productivity growth. This new book offers a comprehensive and informed evaluation of the role of multinationals in the world s fastest growing region. The book will not only be of interest to researchers and students, but also to analysts in the policy making community. David Greenaway, University of Nottingham, UK This volume offers a wealth of information and insights into the roles of multinational enterprises in shaping recent economic developments in East and South Asia. These direct investments, which are now the dominant source of finance for the developing regions globally, are generally welcomed today, though this was untrue earlier. However, the cases in this volume draw out ways and contexts in which the greatest advantage may be sought from these capital inflows. Robert E.B. Lucas, Boston University, US Foreign direct investment by MNCs, once considered the bane of developing countries, is today a leading indicator of their relative success. The reality is more complicated, however, as this fresh assessment of the role of MNCs in Asia explains clearly and persuasively. This study is a major contribution to literature on the role of MNCs in developing countries, drawing heavily on the author s own original research on foreign direct investment in several Asian countries. What is the role of MNCs in developing countries and how has it changed over the past two decades? What are the cost and benefits to host developing countries of MNCs direct investment? What measures should developing countries take to attract MNCs? This book provides clear and convincing answers to these questions based on the kind of rigorous empirical analysis for which the author is renowned. James Riedel, The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, US This book takes a fresh look at unresolved issues associated with the role of multinational enterprises and foreign direct investment in economic development in light of the experiences of developing countries in Asia. Each chapter presents a self-contained treatment of a specific theme relating to the developmental implications of MNEs, encompassing the current state of the debate, and relevant theory and policy implications. The key aspects of MNE-development interface covered in the book include expansion of manufacturing exports, global integration through international fragmentation of production, research and development, productivity growth, susceptibility to and recovery from financial crises, macroeconomic adjustment and international competitiveness, and economic transition from plan to market. Multinational Enterprises in Asian Development will prove a valuable reference tool for academics, researchers and students focusing on trade, development and international business. Professional economists and policy makers wishing to broaden their understanding of the role of MNEs as an integral part of the international development policy will also find much to interest them in this book.

Book excerpt: Indian firms have grown explosively over the last two decades since India adopted wholesale neo-liberal policies in 1991. Nayak attributes the expansion of these Indian firms and their multinational businesses to the owners' ability to manoeuvre and mould key agents in the external environment rather than to the internal management of the firm.
Book Synopsis Multinationals and Corporate Social Responsibility by : Jennifer A. Zerk
Download or read book Multinationals and Corporate Social Responsibility written by Jennifer A. Zerk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-09 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'corporate social responsibility' ('CSR') movement has been described as one of the most important social movements of our time. This book looks at what the CSR movement means for multinationals, for states and for international law. International law is often criticized for being too 'state-centred', and ill-equipped to deal with the challenges of globalization. However, drawing from many and varied examples of state, NGO and corporate practice, this 2006 book argues that, while international law has its limitations, it presents more opportunities for the CSR regulation of multinationals than many people assume. The main obstacles to better regulation are, therefore, not legal, but political.
Book Synopsis The Role of Multinational Companies in the Middle East by : Mamarinta P. Mababaya
Download or read book The Role of Multinational Companies in the Middle East written by Mamarinta P. Mababaya and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated whether known economic and international business theories available in the literature are meaningful enough to explain the nature, existence and role of multinational companies (MNCs) in the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia. Two sets of questionnaires were distributed in major cities of Saudi Arabia -- one set for 100 multinational managers and another for 280 multinational customers. 234 questionnaires were collected -- 45 from multinational managers and 189 from customers. This represents a total response rate of 62 percent, which is adequate for this study.The empirical results, supported with comprehensive secondary data, confirmed virtually all of the research hypotheses. The study found that joint ventures are the dominant form of multinational business in Saudi Arabia, both in manufacturing and service industries. The core roles of MNCs in the Saudi-foreign ventures are evident in the cross-border value-adding activities of marketing, trading, manufacturing, consulting, contracting, project management, insurance, hotel operation and banking. Likewise, MNCs provide licensing, franchising, financing services and various auxiliary roles in the Kingdom. Therefore, the multinationality of a firm or a group of firms operating across national boundaries is not necessarily synonymous with international production -- the main subject of contemporary multinational theories.The respondents generally perceived the competitiveness of MNCs operating in Saudi Arabia as a function of a number of economic, management, marketing, technological and other variables. They also perceived the contributions of MNCs to the KingdomÍs socio-economic developments as significant and positive.The study also found that understanding Islamic values and ethics is important for MNCs. In this regard, the researcher looked at some objective indicators of business success and related them to selected measures of MNCsÍ local cultural awareness and responsiveness. The results indicate that the business success of multinationals operating in Saudi Arabia is positively related to their local cultural awareness and responsiveness. Along this line, this study covers some vital elements of Islamic culture, which will help MNCs understand further the cultural needs, values and sensitivities of the Saudi people and Muslims in general.
Book Synopsis Dragon Multinational by : John A. Mathews
Download or read book Dragon Multinational written by John A. Mathews and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional view of globalization sees it as a process driven by giant firms from the Triad regions of North America, Europe, and Japan, shaping the world in their own image. This book contests such a view, describing the extraordinary success of a handful of multinationals from the "Periphery" in globalizing their operations extremely rapidly. Focusing on Acer, the Taiwanese IT company; the Hong Leong hotel group of Singapore; Ispat International in steel; Cemex of Mexico in cement; and Li and Fung from Hong Kong in contract manufacturing, Mathews demonstrates that these firms have been able to utilize strategies of international linkage and leverage to accelerate their global coverage. He contends that they are pioneers of a new kind of global firm, indicators that the global business civilization being created in the 21st century is like to be pluralistic and diverse, offering unprecedented opportunities for firms that know how to enmesh themselves in global networks.

Book Synopsis Multinational Enterprises, Foreign Direct Investment and Growth in Africa by : Bernard Michael Gilroy
Download or read book Multinational Enterprises, Foreign Direct Investment and Growth in Africa written by Bernard Michael Gilroy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Africa, the world’s most lagging region, benefit from globalisation and achieve sustained economic growth? Africa needs greater investment by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) to improve competitiveness and generate more growth through positive spill-over effects. Despite the fact that Africa’s returns on investment averaged 29% since 1990, Africa has gained merely 1% of global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows. The challenge for African countries is how to be a more desirable destination for FDI. The study integrates three currents of economic research, namely from the literature on (endogenous) economic growth, convergence and regional integration, the explanations for Africa’s poor growth and the growing understanding of the role of MNEs in a global economy. The empirical side of the book is based on an econometric study of the determinants of FDI in Africa as well as a detailed firm-level survey conducted in 2000.
Book Synopsis Multinational Enterprises in India by : Nagesh Kumar
Download or read book Multinational Enterprises in India written by Nagesh Kumar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multinational enterprises play a vital role in the economic activity of most developing countries. In India MNE affiliates dominate whole sectors of industry - such as plastics and pharmaceuticals - characterised by a high degree of product differentiation, complex technology and high skill intensity. Such advantages, combined with intangible assets, centralised decision making and global outlook lead to a divergence of approach between MNEs and their local counterparts in host developing countries. This book analyses the inter-industry pattern of MNEs in India in the framework of the internationalisation theory, also examining the comparative behaviour of MNE affiliates and LCEs in terms of conduct and performance. The book goes further to explain the different performance of these two strategic groups by assessing profit and export.

The volume concentrates on the latter Post-War period of corporate restructuring and readjustment in response to world-wide recession in the mid-1980s. The volume is divided into two parts.

In the second part the chapters consider different aspects of the economic and social impacts of these corporations. The common theme that links all the papers is their emphasis on careful historical analysis of different forms of spatial organisation and their transformation into other, different forms.

This scholarly book will be of great interest to academics in the areas of management, business ethics, social conflict, and international regulation.
