The key takeaways are that multinational corporations operate in multiple countries and can adopt various strategies like exporting, licensing, direct investment, joint ventures and acquisitions to expand internationally.

Multinational corporations are typically large, complex organizations that operate across national borders. They usually have a parent company and subsidiaries in other countries and have high annual sales, capital expenditures and large number of employees globally.

Companies can use strategies like establishing their own operations from scratch in a new country, setting up joint ventures or partnerships with local firms, acquiring existing foreign companies or forming global partnerships to penetrate multiple foreign markets.

A multinational corporation, MNC, is a company that operates in more than one

country. A MNC typically consists of a parent company in the home country and
its majority-owned affiliates or subsidiaries in other countries. MNCs often
create a global business strategy that targets emerging markets in countries that
offer maximum growth and profit potential. Executing a successful
multinational strategy can create tremendous value for an MNC's shareholders.

Becoming a Multinational Corporation
Before becoming an MNC, a company may first sell its products or
services in a foreign country with limited risk by exporting or licensing
its products in that country. To expand in a foreign market, it may
manufacture its products there to save on shipping costs and foreign
tariffs. A company typically becomes a MNC when it makes a direct
investment in the foreign country to establish operations and conduct
business there, which gives the company more control over its business in
the country.
Multinational Strategies
A company can set up its operations in a foreign country from scratch by
establishing its own manufacturing, distribution and retail operations or
use several other strategies to build its foreign presence. It can establish a
joint venture or partnership with an established firm in a foreign country.
It can buy complete ownership or a controlling stake in an established
foreign company. A company that aims for a larger approach can form a
long-term global partnership with another company to invest in and
penetrate multiple foreign market

Multinational corporations, or MNCs for short, are companies that
directly own and operate assets in more than one country outside their
home country in which they are incorporated and usually also maintain
their headquarters. These companies are also frequently referred to as
multinational enterprises (MNEs) or transnational corporations (TNCs).
Leading examples include Toyota (Japan), BP (England), De Beers

(Luxembourg), Fiat (Italy), Phillips (Holland), Exxon (USA) and Coca


Cola (USA).

Very Large and Organizationally Complex
Multinationals are mostly large in size, publicly listed and
organizationally complex enterprises managed by professional executives
experienced in managing across borders. Annual sales and profits
frequently total billions of dollars. Employees can number in the
hundreds of thousands. Annual capital expenditures often exceed those
budgeted by many African, Asian and Middle East countries.
Home Countries
Most multinationals are based in the U.S., Western Europe or Japan.
Some leading exceptions include LG Electronics (South Korea), Hyundai
(South Korea), Tata (India), BHP (Australia), Companhia Vale do Rio
Doce (Brazil) and the Techint Group (Argentina).
Very few MNCs are based in Africa or the Middle East as of April 2011.
One exception is DP World, the global operator of marine ports, based in
Dubai

A multinational corporation is often thought to be a giant business entity with
operations in dozens of countries. However, the minimum requirement for a
corporation to be considered multinational is that it operates in at least three
different countries. This is usually accomplished by means of establishing a
parent corporation and then establishing subsidiary corporations in other
countries that are majority- or wholly owned by the parent corporation. Have a
