Multinationals Strategies and Governance

Abstract

Through several theoretical postulations and empirical studies, scholars have been able to identify a swath of determinants that prompt firms to expand abroad. Different factors also influence the entry mode strategies adopted by multinationals in their foreign market entry. Governance of the behavior of MNCs on a range of issues has preoccupied governments and regulators in recent times. The global expansion of MNCs has raised questions of their impact on society, the role they play in host countries and the larger global economy. These questions arise due to the immense power MNCs wield and the seeming inability of their home and host governments to hold them account.
