• entrepreneurial and managerial skills
• R&D capacity
– access to local technology
Why do Businesses go Multinational?
• The product life cycle and the MNC
– the launch phase
– the growth phase
– maturity
– late maturity and decline
• Problems facing multinationals
– language barriers
– selling and marketing
– relations with host governments
– relationships between subsidiaries
MNC Investment and the Host State
• Advantages of MNC investment
– employment
– balance of payments
– technology transfer
– tax revenues
• Disadvantages
– uncertainty
– power and control by the MNC over the
host
– transfer pricing
– the environment
MNCs and Developing Countries
• The scale of MNC investment in
developing countries
• Advantages to host country
– the saving gap
• the importance of development finance
• the contribution of saving to growth

– public finance gap
– skills and technology gaps
MNCs and Developing Countries
• Disadvantages to host country
–
–
–
–
MNCs may drive local firms out of business
limited demand for local components
repatriation of profits
transfer pricing and effects on tax revenues
• competition between developing countries to
attract MNCs
– distorting the whole pattern of development
• increasing gap between rich and poor
• introducing consumerist values
• What can developing countries do?
