Description
This important new anthology - prepared by a leading business historian - presents the outstanding contributions on the history of US, British, Continental European and Japanese multinational corporations and constitutes an introduction to the subject. The first part has four survey articles showing the origins of the multinational enterprise in the late 19th century and the subsequent developments. It then presents pioneer studies and offers a range of new perspectives on the history of multinationals. The final parts of the book contain case studies as well as articles on the history of the operations of multinational enterprises in such host countries as Britain, China, Japan and Poland. This authoritative volume provides an indispensable guide to the state-of-the-art research on the history of multinationals.
