Alternative Theories of the Multinational Enterprise

Peter J. Buckley and Mark Casson

Chapter 3 in The Future of the Multinational Enterprise, 1976, pp 66-84 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter compares and contrasts the theory expounded in Chapter 2 with alternative theories of the MNE. Our review is confined to theories which focus on the impact of the market environment on the multinationalism of individual firms. Questions concerning the aggregate impact of multinationalism on trade and investment flows are not considered.
