A multinational corporation is one that has business offices and operations in two or more countries in the world. These companies are often managed from a central office headquartered in the home country. Simply exporting goods for sale abroad does not make a business a multinational company.
Usually, the primary goal of a business is to increase profits and growth. If it can grow a global customer base and increase its market share abroad, it may believe that opening offices in foreign countries is worth the expense and effort. Companies may also see a benefit in certain tax structures or regulatory regimes found abroad.
It is beneficial to set up business in countries where the target consumer market of a company is located. Doing so helps reduce transport costs and gives multinational corporations easier access to consumer feedback and information, as well as to consumer intelligence.
This new research paper offers a view of the flows driving global integration and an assessment of interdependency and concentration risks and the important role of multinational corporations. The research is based on a comprehensive assessment of trade (30 global value chains spanning resources, manufactured goods, and services), capital, people, and intangibles flows as well as an analysis of about 6,000 globally traded products.
Global flows are central to the functioning of economies and of businesses both large and small. Firms rely on the ability to sell in foreign markets, smooth-running global supply chains, and access to the capital, talent, and intangibles they require. Even the smallest firm can find new opportunities to expand its integration with the world, enabled by technological advances, new forms of cross-border finance, and regulation.Multinational corporations can have disproportionate influence on flows because they are the current center of the system. They account for about two-thirds of exports, and they are overrepresented in sectors where intangibles are the most relevant and where concentration is the most pronounced.
This puts them in the eye of the current storm. They are confronting an increasingly contested global order in which operating in one market can create significant risks in others. They have significant value at stake from ensuring that global flows are working well. The amount at risk depends on both the sector and the type of company, but is likely to be substantial for all. To give an example, should a typical manufacturing multinational in the automotive sector experience simultaneous shocks that prevent it from securing the global flows it needs, as much as 40 to 60 percent of its enterprise value could be at risk. 041b061a72
