Information-processing Theory and the Multinational Corporation

William G. Egelhoff

Chapter 8 in Organization Theory and the Multinational Corporation, 1993, pp 182-210 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The MNC is probably the most complex form of organization in widespread existence today. Operating across products and markets, nations and cultures, it faces problems and situations far more diverse than even the largest domestic firms. With the increasing globalization of business, a rapidly growing level of economic activity now depends upon this form of organization. Thus the MNC is an important entity for scholarly study both because its influence is growing and because it presents organizational problems that lie at the forefront of organization theory and challenge the capacities of existing theory.
