Drawing the Border for a Multinational Enterprise and a Nation-State

Alan Rugman

Chapter 5 in Multinationals in the Global Political Economy, 1993, pp 84-100 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What is sovereignty? What is a multinational enterprise? While Vernon knew the answer twenty years ago it is not clear that we still do today (Vernon, 1971). No longer do US multinationals compete with Japanese multinationals solely for the benefit of their home nations. Even Reich now recognises that multinationals are no longer ‘national champions’, but contribute to host nation performance, as well as home (Reich, 1992).
