Multinationals from Small Countries

<p>It is generally known that the United States a large country has spawned business corporations that transcend international boundaries--multinationals. What is not generally known is that many smaller countries are rapidly following suit--they too are opening and expanding international operations for their own local firms. This book is the first organized effort by scholars to deal with non-American international corporations as a general phenomenon. Initially presented at a colloquium devoted to the subject held at MIT in January 1976 these seven essays bring to light the relatively unpublicized international activities of firms originating in a number of geographically and economically diverse smaller countries.</p>
