Multinational Enterprises in Less Developed Countries by Peter J. Buckley,Jeremy Clegg Pdf
This volume identifies and analyses the crucial issues in the impact of multinational enterprises (MNEs) on less developed countries (LDCs). Although the authors take a variety of wide stances on the important questions a uniformity of approach emerges. The perspective is essentially that of economic analysis but it is enlivened by unorthodox concepts derived from related social science disciplines. The chapters cover the process of development, paying attention to entrepreneurship, cultural factors and management styles and examine the impact on welfare and income distribution in the host country.
Multinational Corporations in West Africa by Souleymane Doumbia Pdf
"This book investigates the relationship that multinational firms form with local authorities and government in West Africa. It argues that informal partnerships at the local level can provide significant socio-economic benefits to communities and overcome shortfalls in state provision of infrastructure and collective goods and services. Drawing on in-depth case studies in Niger, Ghana and Liberia, the book demonstrates that decentralized partnerships benefit from lower transaction costs, whilst maintaining profitability and investment protection, whereas in formal relationships between multinationals and local government, asset specificity and uncertainty are high. By complying with informal rules, which are in many ways just as restrictive as formal rules, multinational firms can adapt and acculturate themselves, become actors of territorial authorities, and can get around the incompleteness of the contract that binds them to the State. Reflecting on a range of local projects (educational, infrastructural, health, micro-financial, entrepreneurial), this book provides a rich and detailed assessment of the interactions between local authorities and multinational firms. The book will be useful to upper level students and researchers across the fields of economics, business, sociology, anthropology, and African studies, as well as to development practitioners and regional and international organizations with in interest in the functioning of Multinational Corporations in local environments"--

Multinational Enterprises, Foreign Direct Investment and Growth in Africa by Bernard Michael Gilroy,Thomas Gries,Willem A. Naudé Pdf
How can Africa, the world’s most lagging region, benefit from globalisation and achieve sustained economic growth? Africa needs greater investment by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) to improve competitiveness and generate more growth through positive spill-over effects. Despite the fact that Africa’s returns on investment averaged 29% since 1990, Africa has gained merely 1% of global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows. The challenge for African countries is how to be a more desirable destination for FDI. The study integrates three currents of economic research, namely from the literature on (endogenous) economic growth, convergence and regional integration, the explanations for Africa’s poor growth and the growing understanding of the role of MNEs in a global economy. The empirical side of the book is based on an econometric study of the determinants of FDI in Africa as well as a detailed firm-level survey conducted in 2000.
Multinational Corporations in Political Environments by Usha C. V. Haley Pdf
Tested in South Africa when US multinationals were facing diverse pressures from stockholders, governments and consumers to leave, the research provides a prism to isolate how different stakeholders' actions influenced multinationals' behaviours. Detailed analyses of subsidiary-level archival data over a period of four crucial years revealed that the multinationals engaged in diverse forms of leaving reflecting their involvements, strategies and stakeholders' influences. The research, the first to test which stakeholders' strategies, including boycotts and sanctions, influenced multinationals and which did not, and to identify their effects on multinationals' behaviours, has enormous implications for policy makers, managers and social activists.
