Abstract
This paper explains the very harmful role of multinational corporations. Varied sources, linking what multinationals do to harm local development efforts, and the pressures upon countries to have foreign companies, in political terms. Written from a capitalist point of view, but pointing out that globalization and its multinationals point to a short-sighted, bad form of capitalist development. Examples are given from from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
From the Paper
"The paper examines several aspects of globalization, led by the importance of multinational corporations and their impact upon any sort of sustainable development. There are several implications of the processes of globalization that are outlined, with the effect on both developed and undeveloped countries. More than one view of globalization and its effects has been examined, towards a quite critical assessment, and particularly, of the role played by multinational corporations. Some time was devoted to Noam Chomsky's volume,"Profit Over People" and the author's very strong criticism of our so-called Global Order, its links to multinational activity, and much else that Chomsky sees as threatening."

From the Paper
"Recent years have seen a massive rise in the number, size and power of global corporations, also called multinational corporations. This has risen to the point where some multinational corporations have economies that are larger than the economies of many developing countries. What does this mean for the developing countries that house these multinational corporations? Will it be possible for them to maintain their autonomy in the face of this threat? It is here argued that in fact the autonomy of developing countries is seriously threatened by multinational corporations, and that the autonomy of many of them is already compromised."

From the Paper
"With the progress in technology and communication over the past few decades, the movement from a world of separate states to one of a global community cannot be surprising. Participating in this expansion of interdependence have been many types of human endeavors, including the dissemination of culture, the mobility of people, and the increase in trade and business ventures. While the evolution of business from town stores to franchise chains to national enterprises and finally to huge multinational corporations has not been unnoticed or surprising, the final growth stage has been largely unchecked."

Abstract
This paper argues that multinational corporations in today's global economy have been a mixed blessing. The author points out that while these organizations have been rightly accused of debilitating local businesses, of exploiting workers in developing nations and of dangerous levels of political clout, which they wield in impoverished lands desperate for their patronage, they are also powerful engines for meaningful change with regards to such issues as affirmative action initiatives that might (belatedly) transform the work culture of certain nations. The author underscores that multinationals can serve as very effective organizations for improving the benefits and employment packages that people in developing lands receive. The paper concludes that multinationals are far from perfect, but strong and progressive leadership can make them efficacious tools for change.
From the Paper
"The other negative with regards to multinational corporations (and this has actually been hinted at above) is the power they can wield over the governments of developing nations. For instance, developing lands are obviously eager to diversify their economies, to increase their tax receipts, and to overcome rampant unemployment. In a similar vein, these third-world states have a clear interest in forging ties with the developed world that will allow for greater business opportunities for their own entrepreneurs and business types."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the impact of globalization on the strategies of multinational companies. The paper begins with a brief discussion of globalization and then turns to the purpose of multinational entities and so-called stateless corporations. Next, the paper examines the growing trend toward true multi-nationalism and inter-organizational collaboration, rather than American-based companies trying to single-handedly dominate international markets. Companies cited as examples include Motorola, IBM and Kodak. The paper also discusses the triad of trading spheres, comprised of the U.S., Japan and Europe. Finally, the paper addresses anxieties about multi-nationalism and, in particular, free trade agreements. The paper refutes concern about the advent of the global payroll, which has produced dramatic changes in world labor markets, and issues of resource control.
From the Paper
"The emergence of global multinational enterprises and the integration of national economic systems have strong implications for international trade and economic policy for the United States. Some traditional policy instruments are being rendered ineffective by globalization and the new inter-dependence of international and domestic policies. Nonetheless, the challenge of forming responsive, rational and efficient trade and investment policies must be met. New attitudes need to respond to new realities, as the definition of national interests continues to evolve."

"Globalization, free market ideology and advancements in communication and technology have changed the way companies and organizations now conduct business. Research and development of new products and new uses of existing products are the core issues tackled by organizations. Marketing plays a very important role in success of an organization and the profits that can be obtained over time. No matter how good or useful the product, if the consumer is not aware of the product or does not know applications of the product, it is inadequate."

Abstract
This paper looks at the development of multinational and global capitalism and how various global systems have become increasingly essential to its orderly progression. The writer shows how, in order to meet these specific needs it has become necessary to reorganize the manner by which many global standards address certain criteria with regard to structural content. The factors include currency, accounting, labor, corporate formation and the stock exchange and it is shown that if not properly engaged, the concepts of multinational and global capitalism will not reach their full potential.
From the Paper
"As a means by which to implement new structure proposals for labor standards, one first needs to consider how the inherently related issues of race and gender play a role in this reconfiguration. It can be argued that if global capitalism is to flourish, it must do so with the inclusion of every individual, not just those who are deemed worthy. Issues of primary concern embody a number of gender- and race-related problems that -- if not somehow corrected -- will only serve to undermine the very objectives of global capitalism. "Too many labor leaders are still caught up in the mythology of the new deal programs of yesteryear rather than divorcing themselves from partisan politics that are destroying labor; rather than fighting exportation of capital and redistribution of public wealth and power; rather than fighting workplace racism and race-based politics that divide workers; rather than developing and moving a labor agenda" (Caffee, 1995, pp. 7-10)."

The Multinational Corporate Structure, 2005.
This paper evaluates the multinational corporate structure in the face of the internet's enormous potential for extending a corporation's presence throughout the world.

Abstract
This paper explains that the trend toward establishing an internet presence is becoming more and more popular as companies move to position themselves to compete more efficiently on a national and international basis as demonstrated recently by the merger between America Online and Time Life. The author points out that the flexibility provided by the internet for marketing goods and services makes it the perfect tool for the multi-national corporation because tele-conferencing, facsimile machines and e-mail practically eliminate the need for a company to invest in the physical presence of their employees in another country. The paper concludes that the combination of corporations into mega-corporation structures, which compete on a global basis through the internet and with other telecommunications technology, will provide a "synergistic" effect by giving these mega-corporations the resources to accomplish much more than their components could accomplish individually.

From the Paper
"An example of the key problem according to this report is that of Intel's foreign operations in certain countries. Intel will lose "35 cents on the dollar to U.S. taxes, money that could be spent on critical research, while a Japanese competitor keeps the entire dollar. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who's going to win that battle, Perlman said." Other corporations ,which are calling for changes in the tax code to create a level global playing field, include Caterpillar Inc., a major player in the multinational heavy equipment market and newly merged with automaker Daimler Chrysler Corp. and Swiss-based engineering company ABB Inc. Caterpillar feels its global competitiveness is being adversely affected by U.S. tax laws. "If we are to maintain our philosophy of build it here and sell it there, we need a modern tax policy that is consistent with our global focus," said Robin Beran, assistant treasurer at Caterpillar. The companies targeted for improvement the complexity of the U.S. code, the need to treat the 15-country European Union as one entity and the double income taxation triggered by many operations abroad despite U.S. credits for taxes paid to foreign countries."

Abstract
This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the sinking fund in corporate bonds from the viewpoint of the corporation and the bondholders. This paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the call provision from the viewpoint of the corporation as well as its bondholders. These elements carry heavy weight when considering expansion into an international market. The corporation's current status and ratings play a big role in what kind of financing is available and what kind of future debt will be acquired. Key members of management must keep all areas of performance in mind when formulating a strategy for entry. With this in mind, the paper also analyzes factors that effect performance such as bonds yield to maturity. The writer explores the issue of risk as a constant factor evident in business. It can be seen as both a positive and a negative. Risk affects all facets of the corporation, not only the foreign subsidiary but also company performance. It is therefore important to include a risk assessment as a part of any global strategy.

Factors Effecting Risk
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The role of debt over equity is important to consider as a company expands, as it is a true indicator of how the company will succeed. It describes how the company manages its money in its balance sheets. It refers to money the company owes and does not expect to pay off within the next year. In business, there are long term and short term debts. These debts are categorized by how lengthy a repay period there is with the creditor. A good sign that the company is succeeding is when the equity outweighs the debt or that the debt is getting smaller over time. This indicates a certain amount of health within the organizational structure. However, companies with more long-term debt than short-term debt find themselves in trouble because they must continue to pay interest payments and risk having little working capital. It is important a company pay close attention upfront when borrowing money and note the interest rate of the loans as some fall privy to market fluctuation. Long-term debt is more volatile as interest rates can be influenced by economic changes. It is important to analyze how a new international location is doing before committing to entry there. Still interest rates plays a dramatic role in how banks rate a company the ability to pay on time. In this way it benefits the banks more as they are able to "spur innovation to extract return for investors via new structures, some involving high leverage" ("The Financial Stability Conjuncture and Outlook" 51). Debt always works to benefit the banks in this way."
