17. Role of MNC
Positive Role
An inflow of foreign capital can reduce or even remove the deficit in the
balance of payments
Multinationals not only provide financial resources but they also supply a
“package” of needed resources including management experience,
entrepreneurial abilities, and technological skills.
Moreover, MNCs bring with them the most sophisticated technological
knowledge about production processes while transferring modern
machinery and equipment to capital poor LDCs.
18. Role of MNC
Negative Role
While MNCs do contribute to public revenue in the form of corporate taxes,
their contribution is considerably less than it should be as a result of liberal
tax concessions, excessive investment allowances, subsidies and tariff
protection provided by the host government..
Multinationals may damage the host countries by suppressing domestic
entrepreneurship through their superior knowledge, worldwide contacts,
and advertising skills. They drive out local competitors and constrain the
emergence of small-scale enterprises.
20. Conclusion
In almost all cases FDI is beneficial for investing firm and host countries, and the
importance of MNC in the world economy will continue to expand.
Today nations across the globe are moving towards a more open and positive
approach regarding MNC and FDI, a trend that has been reinforced by recent
international agreement and new institutions, such as WTO, APEC ( Asia Pacific
Economic Cooperation) etc.
