Abstract
Transnational corporations - companies which operate in two or more nations - have emerged onto the global scene as business conglomerates that affect the lives of people on six different continents. This paper analyzes the affects that transnational Corporations have on developing countries, examines how they can stimulate economic activity and the detrimental, darker role TNC?s can play in harming the environment and taking advantage of the less stringent standards in developing countries. The paper uses Cypher and Dietz?s "The Process of Economic Development", Chapter 14: TNC?s (1998), as well as Andre Frank?s "The Development of Underdevelopment" (1969).
From the Paper
"Cypher and Dietz term DFI or Direct Foreign Investment as the ownership of productive assets by a corporation in another nation. They continue by pointing out that existing plant and equipment is quite often the target of TNC investment for purchase, reducing the ownership and control of domestic capitalists (C & D 1998, PGs. 436-438). When TNC?s purchase existing plants and equipment in developing countries, they are not aiding the local economy or stimulating investment, but rather are carving their own niche into the developing country that substitutes local ownership and control. Based upon statistical analysis of total investment in developing countries, DFI accounts for a small slice and thus has a rather modest impact on the growth of lesser-developed countries. Cypher and Dietz point out that the impact the TNC positively has on undeveloped countries is more qualitative in nature than quantitative (C & D 1998, Pg. 438)."

Abstract
In a globalized environment where the notion of sovereign states is increasingly breaking down, MNCs have emerged as the dominant global power. This paper is based on the hypothesis that individual states' measures are inadequate resources to correctly regulate international business. In addition, it seems that international binding measures are impossible, as there is no central authority with the legal power of enacting such regulations. Finally, this paper shows that MNCs are a key part of globalization and, therefore, should have both the means and the influence to transform sustainable development from a lofty platitude to meaningful implementation. The paper presents a case study of initiatives and measures that seek to develop the contribution of MNCs to international social and environmental issues and to development policies and actions.

From the Paper
"Globalization is a powerful force that can create growth and opportunities (Kilgour, 2001). It has opened markets and connected economies and cultures. In empowering individuals and groups in unprecedented ways, it has also resulted in demands for greater attention to be paid to issues like human rights, environmental protection and labor standards - the issues that form the heart of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda."

"The evolution of the market trends, together with the development of technology and the globalization tendency have left an important mark upon the ways in which businesses must be conducted in order to become, and more importantly, to remain successful. Under the circumstances in which companies use a maximum specialization of their resources, it is crucial for any type of organization to embrace a corporate philosophy based on long term strategic planning and pro-active management techniques."

Saudi Aramco
From the Paper
"The case of Saudi Aramco is an example of the risks that MNCs run when they enter new markets and build out critical infrastructure and industry such as Saudi Arabia's oil industry. As the case illustrates, Saudi Arabia's state owned oil company, Saudi Aramco as well as Saudi Arabia's oil industry infrastructure, since 1948 belonged to a conglomerate of U.S. international oil companies: Exxon, Mobile, SOCAL and Texaco. While Saudi Arabia incrementally demanded increasing influence in Aramco, as Saudi Aramco was initially known, it was not until 1975 that the Saudi Arabian government took full possession of the company and successfully nationalized it. The original founding U.S. MNCs were left to negotiate management and concessions but and found their former dominant position in the market completely reversed and controlled by the Saudi government. Yet, because of their significant investment in the market over the years, they could not afford to simply evacuate the market and instead were willing to accept lower profits and thinner margins to assist the Saudi government in both managing some aspects of the operations as well as buying petroleum."

Finally, some questions are offered that would allow a human resource manager to fully grasp the degree of influence technology applications had on a Thai subsidiary of an American MNC.
From the Paper
"American culture has long valued the acts of the individual above the acts of a group. Medals are awarded for acts of bravery, comic industries abound with super-heroes who work alone and Westerns are inhabited with strong, silent cowboys who ride alone, or at best, have a hapless side-kick who functions as a comic foil. This cultural trait is reflected in the activities at business schools where individuals occupy a single computer terminal and resent any interruption as a form of unwanted assistance or, at the worst, as an attempt to cheat. Oddly enough, it is one of the great dysfunctions of Western, and especially American culture, that while such individuality is highly idolized in media and urban myth, corporate America has moved towards teams, work groups and encouraging community development in the workplace(Mayer, 2001)."

"In terms of product and price, Toyota has successfully established three strong brands for each price class in Europe, namely, Daihatsu for the low-cost segment, Lexus for the luxury segment, and the Toyota brand for the mass middle-class segment. This solid brand management not only enables the Toyota Group to successfully participate in each price segment, in contrast to BMW Group which only serves the upper-class segment, but also prevents brand dilution as is currently the case with Volkswagen."

"With the progress in technology and communication over the past few decades, the movement from a world of separate states to one of a global community cannot be surprising. Participating in this expansion of interdependence have been many types of human endeavors, including the dissemination of culture, the mobility of people, and the increase in trade and business ventures. While the evolution of business from town stores to franchise chains to national enterprises and finally to huge multinational corporations has not been unnoticed or surprising, the final growth stage has been largely unchecked."

Abstract
This paper discusses international marketing strategy and several shortcomings of current strategies. Particularly, standardized approaches to global marketing across markets are examined as being rife with potential cultural hazards. A segmented marketing strategy is offered as an alternative because it focuses on depth rather than breadth. Nike is utilized as an example of an MNC that is victim of a standardized marketing approach.
From the Paper
"When moving from a national to an international market, one of the primary issues in developing a marketing plan and a strategy to execute on the plan is the ability to integrate the cultural characteristics of the target market into the plan. While the need for such consideration might seem self-evident there is still a significant percentage of the business community that enters foreign markets without proper due diligence and the results can prove catastrophic at worst and embarrassing at best. Some debate exists whether market research deserves its own separate business emphasis in marketing strategy: "the topic of business communication requires an independent research agenda about intercultural interaction. Indeed, research has paid little attention to the quality of persuasive documents used in international business..."(Hoeken et al, 2003, para.2). "
