Distortion or Development?: Contending Perspectives on the Multinational Corporation

"Evaluates two alternative, contending theoretical perspectives on the consequences of multinational corporate investment in underdeveloped countries. The first half considers the central arguments of critics on multinational development (e.g.,balance of payments effects, displacement of indigenous production, inappropriate technology, and patterns of consumption); then counterarguments drawing on the work of the Harvard Business School's Multinational Enterprise Project. The second half empirically examines the contending perspectives through the case study of Nigeria." - Journal of Economic LiteratureBiersteker, Thomas J. is the author of 'Distortion or Development?: Contending Perspectives on the Multinational Corporation' with ISBN 9780262520652 and ISBN 0262520656.
