Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 18/30, University of Nairobi, course: Political Economy, language: English, abstract: The paper is an evaluation of the influence of multinational corporations in Kenya and evaluates whether or not they have benefited Kenyan citizens. Many theories have been advanced in explaining the origin, development and motivation of multinational corporations’ investments globally. Multinational corporations (MNCs) are motivated by factors either internal to the investment or external to the location. The determinant of expansion of these firms may mean there is need to produce and sell goods and/or services in a number of countries. This is either through exports or through direct investment in these countries. But first of all, what is a multinational corporation? A multinational company or business has offices, shops or factories in several countries. Multinational corporations are business corporations based in one particular country as the mother country with subsidiaries in other countries. They may also be defined in the context of the expertise and the origin of staff. They qualify as so if the extent of their staff establishment reflects a global representation both locally and internationally in their subsidiaries. This paper seeks to discuss the Internalization Theory in explaining the emergence of multinational corporations in a developing country-in our case, Kenya. Based on her experience, we shall discuss the import of the Internalization Theory in understanding the emergence of at least 2 multinational corporations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2005 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 2, University of Kassel, 22 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Multinational Corporations (MNC) are important transitional agents in the contemporary global political economy. Although they can be viewed as economic actors following the logic of international market, their activities inevitably arouse questions of national power. Not surprisingly, such questions are most pronounced in the study of developing countries where weak government and societies potentially give the MNC strong bargaining position. Thus, the nature of their relationship between developing countries and the implication of this relationship for economic growth remains highly controversial. How ever, proponents of MNC posit in the past that MNC have made important contribution to developing countries. This interaction between MNCs and third world economy has led to a profound relationship whose impacts are enormous. Although many scholars have written more on the impact of MNC on host less developed countries, the most important question is, Do foreign firms behave differently from locally owned firms and if so what are their implication? Multinational corporations are one of the main conduits through which investment is channelled and their evolution has reflected broader developments (OECD 2003). This impact however will be examined from the negative and positive impact gearing towards the development of third world. However it is imperative to examine the characteristics of developing countries as well as some objectives of Multinational Corporations (MNC).

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of Multinational Corporations (MNCs)in the transition economies has generated heated debate since the end of the Second World War. Dependency, structural, and neo-liberal theorists have come up with arguments that either support the MNCs or condemn their nature of engagement in the transition economies. Developing countries are faced by many challenges ranging from high unemployment rate, civil wars, diseases, hunger, inappropriate technology, poor leadership, and corruption that make these countries remain in abject penury and underdeveloped. Hence, the book sets to assess how the MNCs in Kenya, based on the experience of coca cola limited company, have attempted to intervene in some of these problems by fostering economic development either directly or indirectly.
