Economic Globalization-Bongnyoung Heo

1. Summary

Transnational corporations to infringe on the autonomy and push the boundaries of the country is stereotypes created as a misunderstanding. Authorized trading companies in the past, such as East India Company and Hudson Bay Company, have been interconnected and made important contributions to economic development around the world. They are today an international scale, the ancestor of companies. However, the last 50 years the number of tnc increased exponentially. ‘Even if you don't own more than one power that can control and adjust the operating companies in the country’ is the most comprehensive definition of the tnc. Due to the complex relationship between business and qualitative properties in comprehensive terms, it is impossible to define. The TNC accounts for about one-tenth of the world's GDP, and generates one-third of the total exports. The majority of the world's 100 biggest tnc still maintains more than half of its production. TNCs exist in various forms, but in common they interact with each other in a combination of political, social and cultural settings.

The activities of the TNC can be summarized into two categories: market-oriented investment and asset-oriented investment. The size and nature of TNC's corporate realignment market continue to influence. The specificity of a particular market may require a direct presence to understand and respond to certain situations. Geographic imbalances in the market are one of the main reasons why companies participate in multinational investments. There are two main ways for a company to carve out a multinational market. One is a 'Greenfield' investment and the other is a method through acquisition with another company or through some form of strategic cooperation. Greenfield investment simply refers to the construction of a completely new facility. The inventory of the production of the enterprise itself and the addition of it to the countries and communities in which it occurs. This is generally the most preferred type of investment by the host country, but greenfield investment is not the usual way for TNCs to expand abroad. Building a completely new, substantial facility is a way for businesses to take risks. That is why companies prefer to enter foreign countries through cooperation with companies that dominate the existing market.

The order of market development of a typical tnc as follows : First, an independent domestic sales overseas export directly using an agency services. Second, domestic demand tnc as its overseas sales to overseas markets by establishing a control. The location and area is still in behaviour and the company's production still important. All geographically broad range of every business, including the company has cognitive and cultural, social, political and economic complex embedded attributes the dominant role.Produced through the process. As a result, tnc is unique as the owner of these characteristics to achieve the results of the national and regional specific characteristics of the position of the society and interaction.

So, like most companies, TNCs can be considered a network dense in the center. There is a wide variety of ways in which the internal network of the TNC is organized and geographically constructed, and how customers connect to the external network. Diversity is affected by some industrial environments run by the company, such as a specific history of the company, cultural and administrative legacies in the form of recognized practices built over a certain period of time, competition in character and complexity, technology and regulatory structure. Depending on the nature of geographical distribution dispersed in different political, cultural and social environments, TNCs are much more difficult to coordinate and control than enterprises with limited brass in a single national space. In other words, more sophisticated organizational structures are needed. The TNC has many geographical options for production activities. One is to focus production in one place. Concentrated production worldwide creates economies of scale, but it increases transportation costs and reduces corporate knowledge of distant markets. Second, it is produced especially for the markets of regions and countries. The economy of scale is limited by market size. Third, make a professional production structure for the domestic market. Finally, the production process is subdivided and each part is placed in a different location. transnational vertical production integration.


Transnational corporations are undoubtedly the most important factor in the modern world economy. There is no dispute that their importance is increasing. More companies are becoming transnational, both the TNC and the organizational and geographic areas of the transnational production network are very complex and dynamic.


2. Interesting point

The history of transnational companies that serve as vanguard in economic globalization, how they pioneer or enter new markets and how to engage in economic activities by building networks, were very interesting and learned a lot.




3. Discussion Point
How can transnational companies reduce the adverse impact on the domestic market, on the networks of companies and small sellers? What is the best way to regulate them?
