Multinational Enterprises
Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) are companies that operate in multiple countries beyond their home nation. They manage production or deliver services in various locations, often taking advantage of local resources, labor, and markets. MNEs can significantly influence global trade and economics due to their size and reach.
These enterprises typically have a centralized head office in their home country, which coordinates global operations. MNEs can include well-known brands like Apple, Coca-Cola, and Toyota. Their activities can lead to job creation, technology transfer, and economic development in host countries, but they may also raise concerns about labor practices and environmental impact.
