Multinational Firms: A Strange Thing In Today’s World
A trend began to emerge in the business world over the last century. Corporations realized that there were no obstacles to their expansion into countries remote from their places of founding. This was the commencement of the era of the global company.
It does not seem to have much of an impact on the decision-makers in these businesses that their operations are so far reaching. Their profits, divided between numerous currencies, are dealt with as if they were all made in the same paper. With the same efficiency that a conference call within one nation would occur, so does an international conference call for this type of company. It is standard for a piece of the company’s operation to be situated almost totally in one country, and a different part in another nation, as if these things were being managed by people in various regions of the same territory. Marketing merchandise primarily in certain countries is no different for them than focusing on segments of an individual country’s populace. These corporations treat the globe as one massive nation and all people as citizens of it.
A number of people are quick to defend the tactics of these companies. Maximizing profits, something that every business aims for, can readily be garnered with this type of arrangement. With these businesses providing the same goods in a variety of countries, the resemblances between lifestyles of distinct citizenries will become greater and allow people to better bridge cultural divides, defenders may argue. Supporters may also say that the company’s products may motivate local businesses to keep up and end up giving them a boost.
Others might argue that more impoverished countries are exploited by these companies. Cheap labor exists in third-world countries, and the companies use this to make products that end up being sold mostly to wealthier countries. The poorer countries have people getting wages that give them no real luxuries, and richer nations lose prospective sources of jobs. Also, because of the extensive financial endowment of these companies, they are often able to buy out local competitors or influence national politics to favor their operations.
As things now stand, a huge business often has everyone on earth as potential clients and completely unrestricted choice of country for production. Executives on their conference calls may think they are assisting in making the world a healthier place, and a number of consumers might harbor the opposite view. Advocates will argue that these companies help to bridge gaps between different cultures and keep more localized firms competitive. Exploitation of countries and those businesses using their assets to silence competition are problems, say critics. No matter what, though, we are cognizant of the fact that these companies are engrained and will be around for quite a while.
