Abstract: Abstract The rise of transnational corporations (TNCs) from developing and transition economies has accelerated in recent years. The presence of such companies on the world stage was documented several decades ago, by such distinguished scholars as Louis Wells (1977; 1983) and Sanjaya Lall (1983). The situation in the 1970s and 1980s differs, however, in a number of ways from that of the present time. The scale of the phenomenon is today much larger and the geographical composition of flows and stocks is different as are the drivers and determinants.
