Such corporations have had worldwide influence—over other business entities and even over governments, many of which have imposed controls on them. During the last

On the one hand, as mentioned before we can observe that there are positive consequences for the worldwide economy. The countries that are part of the globalised world gain many advantages, such as the absence of economic barriers. Since the lack of barriers between countries the markets all over the world have increased in terms of goods and services. In other words, capital movements are set on a global scale in which multinationals play a crucial role.

For starters let us start with defining what is a MNC: a multinational corporation is a company that has more than one facilities in countries other than where their headquarters is located at. {http://www.britannica.com/topic/multinational-corporation} So General Motors, Atari, Boeing, IKEA, and Apple are all examples of modern international corporations. And if you look through many of your everyday items that you use you will find that almost everything you own is multinational. Which you may have to think about the next time someone tells you MNC’s are bring the New World Order to take over your land and country while using their IPhone 7.

A multinational corporation (MNC) is a company engaged in producing and selling goods or services in more than one country. Besides that, multinational corporation can be defined as a company or group that derives a quarter of its revenue from operations outside of its home country. It generally consists of a parent company situated in the home country and approximately five or six foreign subsidiaries, usually with a high degree of strategic interaction amongst the units. The largest MNCs are oil companies such as BP and Exxon (Esso) and car companies such as Ford, Toyota and Volkswagen. Other famous companies such as Sony, IBM and Coca-Cola are also defined as being multinational. Lots of MNCs have about 100 foreign subsidiaries strewn around the world, and all of them face a number of challenges, which they need to deal with.

As an important driving force of economic globalization and also the implementer of FDI, Multinational Corporations occupy an unparalleled position in the contemporary economy. According to Friedman: "We are living in a time of globalization. People generally think that all countries have no choice but to wear" gold tights "(Friedman 1999: 104). Therefore, in some people's viewpoints, in the bargaining range Transnational Corporations is more effective than the state. However, through the specific case analysis of this report, reader can see that their relationship is very delicate. It is not that one occupies a strong position while the other is in a disadvantaged position. In summary, they cooperate and compete. They may similarly find themselves in conflict or support each other. This report gives a few specific case studies on how to think critically about whether any of these have more advantages status, as well as what led to this status change.

It is argued that many actors in a political system are essential to multinationals because they base their decisions of investment on it. The author names three distinct forms of government structure; fiscal federalism, political federalism and political decentralization of which he argues that politically federal institutions are more conducive to multinational corporations and hence, they attract the most FDI inflows.

Companies in the trading blocs therefore have to compete to attract foreign direct investment from large multinational companies which have been responsible for holding an ever increasing share of global outputs. Multinationals are companies which own assets and produce in more than one country, hence increasing international trade within globalization. MNCs can therefore achieve benefits from specialization, exploit cost advantages that different countries offer at different markets. Recently, there is an ever increasing trend in outsourcing.

Multinational business enterprises have had a big impact on the global economy over the years because of their
