ABSTRACT
The operations of multinational corporations (MNCs) in developing countries have attracted much interest and inflamed the passions of many. For critics these MNCs are seeking merely to improve their competitive position by exploiting inexpensive labor and weak government regulation. Defenders argue that there are significant benefits from hosting MNCs, including jobs and foreign exchange. Other literature has focused on understanding the reasons for globalizing production, examined corporate strategy, or studied the role of expatriate managers. The impacts on the host country and its citizens have been treated as side-effects.
