Resumen
In a globalising economy, distances and national boundaries have substantially diminished as most of the obstacles to market access have been removed. In this global market, multinational enterprises (MNEs) are perceived to be a key vector through which globalisation has occurred and continues to evolve. Thanks to information and communication technologies, finns continue to organise themselves into transnational networks in response to intense international competition and the need for strategic interactions. Despite the fact that economic integration is a dominant feature of globalisation, other dimensions are also of significance, including the social, cultural, political and institutional realms.
