No company faces the issue of globalization more acutely than McDonald's." (Barboza, para 1) Often the symbol of American entrepreneurship and capitalism in the world, McDonald's has enjoyed successes with its association to the United States. However, that same association in recent years has become a vice to this fast-food chain as U.S. foreign policy around the globe is being met with resistance from enemies and allies alike. How will the McDonald's Corporation adapt to the new challenges of globalization in world of growing resentment of anything American?…

    Multinational Enterprises and Emerging Markets

    The need for multinational companies to invest foreign economies becomes erstwhile with increasing globalization. Multinational Enterprises, MNEs, enter foreign markets for different reasons; some enter the market in search for market control as regards sales and distribution of their goods and services while for some, it is either to gain cheaper labour or utilize more specialized expertise or for easier access to a resource(s) that facilitates or is essential to its primary home production process. In most cases, the investment risks are reduced for the investing company. While most MNEs would be involved in either a foreign investment to replicate exactly the same product or service it does in its home country as in a Horizontal Foreign Direct Investment (Horizontal FDI), some others would be interested in a foreign investment where a product or service that facilitates or compliment their home production is subject like in the outsourcing of a particular aspect of a production process either for cheaper labour or for a localized expertise, this investment would be classified as a Vertical Foreign Direct Investment (Vertical FDI).

    Outline the Rise of Multinational Enterprise from Early Examples Like Standard Oil to Contemporary Giants Like Apple Inc. Explain Their Growth as a Business Phenomenon and Evaluate to What Extent It Is Driven by

    The idea of the Multinational Enterprise (MNE) has been around since the first industrial revolution, firms look to expand overseas in a bid to increase profits, improve efficiency and lower costs. If successful, an MNE can expect vast returns from its investments. An MNE is a company or enterprise that manages production or delivers a service in multiple countries; when these enterprises decide to invest money abroad, it is usually in the form of a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Hu (1992) defined multinationals as ‘national firms with international operations, based on measures such as domestic vs. foreign sales and assets, ownership and control, nationality of people in the organization and legal nationality and taxation’ (Hood & Young, 2000, p.399). Companies decide to expand production and service for multiple reasons, such as reducing costs, increasing efficiency or maximizing market share and profits in their home country. Firms who successfully integrate their enterprise internationally can expect to see such benefits and in some cases revenue can rise higher than some country’s GDP. Apple, in 2012 was worth $500bn (Nutall & Walters, 2012). This figure is larger than the GDP of Poland.…
