A multinational corporation (MNC) or enterprise (MNE) is a business entity that owns or controls the production of goods or services in at least one country other than its home country. Operating globally with a central headquarters, these companies utilize foreign direct investment to manage subsidiaries, branches, or factories, driving growth through economies of scale, access to new markets, and diverse talent.
Key Characteristics
Global Operations: Production or service facilities exist in multiple nations.
Centralized Management: While operations are worldwide, strategic decisions are generally made at a headquarters in the home country.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): MNCs actively invest in other countries, distinguishing them from firms that only export products.
