章节摘录

  Formal Definitions  4 A multinational enterprise shall be defined as a business organization which owns (whether wholly or partly), controls and manages assets, often including productive resources, in more than one country, through its member companies incorporated separately in each of these countries. Each member company is known as a multinational corporation. Each MNC is purported to represent certain interests (or to fulfill certain goals) of the multinational enterprise and is linked to one another within the organizational framework of the same multinational enterprise. If the MNC is the original investing corporation, it is known as the parent MNC, which is normally also the international headquarters of the MNE. If the MNC is established as a result of investments by the MNE, whether through the parent MNC or through another of its already established MNC, it is an affiliate MNC. An MNE may also have various regional or operational headquarters, in addition to an international headquarters. Characteristics of MNEs  5 Firstly, MNEs are generally enormous in size. As early as 1973 the United Nations report on "Multinational Corporations in World Development" noted that: "the amount of annual sales runs into hundreds of millions of dollars",  6 There is little doubt that the size of an MNE does indicate the amount of resources it controls even though the amount of resources located in particular countries may be small.  7 Wide geographical spread is also characteristic of MNEs. Such geographical spread of MNEs enables them to have a wide range of options in terms of decisions in areas such as sourcing and pricing. They are also more able to take advantage of changes in the international economic environment. Such multinationality also enables MNEs to engage in worldwide integrated production and marketing giving rise to extensive intra-MNE transactions which constitute a very significant proportion of total international trade.  8 Another general characteristic of large MNEs is their longevity and rapid growth. Some MNEs have a history of many years and their double digit growth rate for revenue adjusted for inflation is higher than that of the GNP of most countries.  Needs, Goals and Behavior of MNEs  9 The behavior of MNEs is very much determined by their needs. These needs are often identified as goals. The purpose of organization is to facilitate the MNEs' operations and the purpose of its operations is to achieve its organizational goals.  10 Like most business organizations, MNEs are formed for profit. There is little doubt that the profit goal represents the basic need of the MNEs' shareholders. It is also the need of all groups interested in the continued survival of the MNE. Yet this interest in the continued survival of the MNE expressed a second basic need-need of security.  11 The importance of security to any MNE cannot be doubted. Profit is useless if it cannot be secured by the MNE and transferred wherever it so desires. Its assets and investment must be secured. A favorable business environment must also be secured. Without security, an MNE's survival can never be assured. It is no wonder that MNEs have embarked on policies to grow into gigantic sizes, to control resources, and production and manufacturing processes in many countries, and even to intervene in the affairs of government in both the home and host countries, in order to ensure the security of its profits, assets, organizations and operations.  ……
