  CAFOD : Policy and analysis : Rough Guides : MNCs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
This briefing examines the impact of MNCs on poor countries, their responsibilities as companies for improving workers conditions, the role of codes of conduct and the need for government regulation and international cooperation to ensure that people are put before profits.
The scope of MNC activity has increased over the past two decades as states have deregulated their economies by removing barriers to foreign investment, and functions traditionally performed by states have been devolved to corporations through privatisation, for example in the telecommunications and energy sectors.
Many NGOs believe that MNC lobbying was crucial in limiting the WSSD outcome on corporate responsibility to a formula, which allows governments to do the minimum to hold corporations accountable for their impacts.

 Leviathans - Cambridge University Press
MNCs and their executives, in practice and in principle, not only can cause but also can and sometimes do take steps to reduce the severity of these environmental problems.
MNCs, as with other factors of globalization, must be studied in a sustained empirical fashion, in an historical perspective, and with a constant effort to move back and forth between theory and data.
Political and social conditions requisite for MNCs to operate as they do may provide a stable context and, at the same time, be subject to change – changes that, in turn, respond to the shifting play of culture as well as of forces like migration and technological innovation.

MNC investment in the South grew from an annual average of $2.6 billion during 1967­69 to $12.8 billion in 1979­81.
MNCs are accused of earning excessive profits in Third World countries, made possible by their oligopoly position in local economies.
MNCs, meanwhile, have largely abandoned their insistence on formal ownership and control over all phases of investment, thus removing one of the concerns that prompted Third World governments to impose onerous controls in the first place.

 Multinational corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A multinational corporation (MNC) or multinational enterprise (MNE) or transnational corporation (TNC) or multinational organization (MNO) is a corporation or enterprise that manages production establishments or delivers services in at least two countries.
Given their international reach and mobility, prospective countries, and sometimes regions within countries, must compete with each other to have MNCs locate their facilities (and subsequent tax revenue, employment, and economic activity) within.
To compete, countries and regional political districts offer incentives to MNCs such as tax breaks, pledges of governmental assistance or improved infrastructure, or lax environmental and labor standards.

 MNCs and the Global Security Industry in the Global Economy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Taxes are hence lowered for the MNC as a whole; which is tax evasion on a monumental scale, with mind-blowing numbers involved.
MNCs are becoming increasingly dependent on security experts as their role increases, and they operate in more dangerous areas; due to the increasingly interconnected nature of the global economy.
MNCs are prepared to pay enormous amounts to advisors and ‘hired-guns’ in order to make a profit, which can be increased by operating in more and more places, many of which are very dangerous.

The UN tracks the 100 largest nonfinancial MNCs ranked by foreign assets. Although not as dramatic as the change in the WSJ rankings, from 1990 to 1997, the UN reported a 25 percent change in the composition of their top 100.
MNCs do not operate with immunity — they are heavily monitored both in the United States and abroad. Admittedly, from 1991 to 1998, there has been a tendency toward the liberalization of FDI regulations.
A UN survey of MNCs revealed that the number one reason MNCs do not invest in given countries is the presence of extortion and bribery, and not surprisingly, the main source of the corruption is government officials.

 Global Aware Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The continents and countries that have the lowest development of world-class MNCs are precisely the countries that have been dominated by Euro-U.S. MNCs and their imperial states.
Russian MNCs, almost exclusively located in natural resources, are a special case: they result from the pillage and theft of large-scale state enterprises, which were largely integrated in the domestic economy.
This U.S. decline in the percentage of MNCs relative to Europe and Asia is in part compensated for by the fact that the MNCs in Europe are dispersed among several countries.

Generalists first and specialists second, MNCS teachers serve as advisors to a group of 15 to 18 students.
Unconventional in almost every regard, MNCS is a teacher-owned, public charter school, part of a Minnesota-based education collaborative called EdVisions.

 CAFOD : Resources : Secondary schools : Globalisation : Multinational Corporations factsheet: KS3, KS4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The MNC can be guilty of pollution or human rights abuse (eg by sourcing products from factories where child labour is used or by forbidding its workers to join trade unions).
This could enhance an MNC’s reputation with a local government, while in reality the code is failing to change conditions for the majority of its workers.
MNCs tend to chase the lowest wages in an effort to maximise their profits.

 Multinational Corporations in the Third World: Predators or Allies in Economic Development?
Even as MNCs may be motivated primarily by profits to invest in the Third World, the morality of their activities in improving the material lives of many in these countries should not be obscured through misperceptions.
It is to enable MNCs to pay such dividends that their managers seek out the most efficient workers for the wages they pay, buy materials at the cheapest costs possible, seek to produce in countries levying the lowest profit taxes, and sell in markets where they can earn the highest revenues after costs.
Similarly, unless MNCs can make as much profit as they can at home, as well as compensation for the additional risks taken to invest in the Third World, including the risk of asset confiscation by a hostile future government, they would not venture into those parts of the world.

 The International Human Resource Management of the MNCs in the UK, US and Japan
Kobrin stated that twenty years ago, US MNCs employed numerous expatriates in their overseas subsidiaries, it was not limited to the most significant managerial positions, but it was usual to find expatriates in the second and third levels of management.
In addition, the MNCs fear that employees may leave the company, as the mobility of the US workforce is high (Tung, 1982; 1987).
The US MNCs had a shorter duration of the overseas assignments, typically, they are two to three years, it might not long enough for American expatriates to adjust to the new environment.

 Global Environmental Assessment Project (GEA): Publications - Strategic Responses to Global Climate Change: Conflicting ...
MNCs are increasingly facing global environmental issues demanding coordinated market and non-market strategic responses.
The home country institutional context and individual company histories can create divergent pressures on strategy for MNCs based in different countries; however, the location of MNCs in global industries and their participation in 'global issues arenas' create issue-level fields within which strategic convergence might also be expected.
This paper analyzes the responses of oil MNCs to climate change and finds that local context influenced initial corporate reactions, but that convergent pressures predominate as the issue matures.
