A multinational corporation (MNC) or multinational enterprise is an organization that owns or controls production of goods or services in one or more countries other than their home country.〔http://www2.econ.iastate.edu/classes/econ355/choi/mul.htm〕 It can also be referred as an international corporation, a "transnational corporation", or a stateless corporation.〔Roy D. Voorhees, Emerson L. Seim, and John I. Coppett, "Global Logistics and Stateless Corporations," ''Transportation Practitioners Journal'' 59, 2 (Winter 1992): 144-51.〕 ==Overview== A multinational corporation is usually a large corporation which produces or sells goods or services in various countries. * Importing and exporting goods and services * Making significant investments in a foreign country * Buying and selling licenses in foreign markets * Engaging in contract manufacturing—permitting a local manufacturer in a foreign country to produce their products * Opening manufacturing facilities or assembly operations in foreign countries The problem of moral and legal constraints upon the behavior of multinational corporations, given that they are effectively "stateless" actors, is one of several urgent global socioeconomic problems that emerged during the late twentieth century.〔 〕 One of the first multinational business organizations, the East India Company, arose in 1600.〔http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/about/globalinc.jsp "GlobalInc. An Atlas of The Multinational Corporation" Medard Gabel & Henry Bruner, New York: The New Press , 2003. ISBN 1-56584-727-X〕 After East India Company, came the Dutch East India Company, founded March 20, 1602, which would become the largest company in the world for nearly 200 years.〔http://www.kb.nl/themas/geschiedenis-en-cultuur/koloniaal-verleden/voc-1602-1799 VOC at the National Library of the Netherlands (in Dutch)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「multinational corporation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
