Transnational corporations play an increasingly important role in the world economy, and their enormous size and power make them a subject of great interest and concern to consumers, producers, nation states and international organizations as well as to researchers. The editors have brought together leading theorists in this area to present a wide variety of perspectives on the nature of the transnational firm. The volume incorporates both orthodox and radical theories, providing new insights and suggesting areas of potential development.
