Chapter 1 in Yugoslav Multinationals Abroad, 1992, pp 1-4 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the most important developments in the world economy in the postwar period has been the spread of the multinational enterprise. Firms have increasingly conducted their international operations through foreign branches and subsidiaries established through the process of greenfield direct investment or acquisition. Over the past thirty years this multinational phenomenon has witnessed the intensification of international flows of direct investment from potentially important new sources, including the Third World, the newly industrialising countries and Eastern Europe.
