What is Multinational corporations ?(MNC)


Multinational corporations are business entities that operate in more than one country. The typical multinational corporation or MNC normally functions with a headquarters that is based in one country, while other facilities are based in locations in other countries. In some circles, a multinational corporation is referred to as a multinational enterprise (MBE) or a transnational corporation (TNC). The exact model for an MNC may vary slightly. One common model is for the multinational corporation is the positioning of the executive headquarters in one nation, while production facilities are located in one or more other countries. This model often allows the company to take advantage of benefits of incorporating in a given locality, while also being able to produce goods and services in areas where the cost of production is lower. structural model for a multinational organization or MNO is to base the parent company in one nation and operate subsidiaries in other countries around the world. With this model, just about all the functions of the parent are based in the country of origin. The subsidiaries more or less function independently, outside of a few basic ties to the parent. A third approach to the setup of an MNC involves the establishment of a headquarters in one country that oversees a diverse conglomeration that stretches to many different countries and industries. With this model, the MNC includes affiliates, subsidiaries and possibly even some facilities that report directly to the headquarters. The idea of a multinational corporation has been around for centuries. Some trace the origins of the concept back to the Dutch East India Company of the 17th century, as the corporate structure involved a presence in more than one country. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the idea of a company that functioned in more

than one nation became increasingly common. In the 21st century, this business model continues to be highly desirable. There are several ways that an MNC can come into existence. One approach is to intentionally establish a new company with headquarters in one country while producing goods and services in facilities located elsewhere. In other instances, the multinational corporation comes about due to mergers between two or more companies based in different countries. Acquisitions and hostile takeovers also sometimes result in the creation of multinational corporations. In a world that continues to become more interconnected each day, a multinational corporation sometimes has a greater ability to adapt to economic and political shifts that corporations that function in a single nation. Along with decreasing costs associated with producing core products, this business model also opens the door for diversification, which often makes it possible for a company to remain solvent even when one division or subsidiary is posting a temporary loss.

Types of Multinational corporations ? (MNC)


1. Franchising
In this form, Multinational Corporation grants firms in foreign countries the right to use its trade marks, patents, brand names etc. The firms get the right or licence to operate their business as per the terms and conditions of franchise agreement. They pay royalty or license fee to multinational corporations. In case the firm holding franchises violate the terms and conditions of the agreement, the licence may be cancelled. This system is popular for products which enjoy good demand in host countries.

2. Branches
In this system Multinational Corporation opens branches in different countries. These branches work under the direction and control of head office. The headquarters frames policies to be followed by the branches. Every branch follows laws and regulations of the head office and host countries. In this way multinational companies operate through branches.

3. Subsidiaries
A multinational corporation may establish wholly owned subsidiaries m foreign countries. In case of partly owned subsidiaries people in the host countries also own shares. The subsidiaries in foreign countries follow the polices laid down by holding company (Parent company). A multinational company can expand its business operations though subsidiaries all over the world.

It provides training to the staff in the operation of plant. It may also guarantee the quality and quantity of production over a long period of time.

Emergence of multinational companies in India


(The East India Company)

The multinational companies that we are familiar with today are quite different than the ones that originated long ago. The emergence of multinational companies began in the early 1600s, with the founding of The East India Company in Britain. Queen Elizabeth I granted the company a royal charter and permission to seek trade in the Indian Ocean. The company began to open up factories, a majority of them being in India, and eventually held a monopoly on trade. It is most interesting to think about the end of the first, and one of the most powerful, multinational companies. The companys demise came when the British parliament eventually intervened and passed the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act of 1873. Articles that appeared in major publications (such as the Chicago Tribune) in 1873, discussed the significance of The East India Company, especially as it was nearing the date of its closing (June of 1874). Some articles even suggested that the company helped to introduce and foster the idea of globalization and the possibility of businesses operating in numerous countries at the same time.
