The strategic philosophy of multinational enterprises
It is different from that of home country businesses.
MNEs do not see their company as an extension of its domestic roots.
They hire, fire, and transfer personnel to meet global needs
They also combine their talents with those of other MNEs in creating, financing and managing joint ventures.
