How Transnational is a Corporation?
Corporations vary in range of international dimensions such as ratio of
domestic to foreign operations, the number of foreign countries entered,
etc.
No single measure can capture the definitive meaning of “multinational.”
The transnationality index is one measure used by the
United Nations to rank corporations based on the
relative importance of their domestic and foreign
operations.
The economic and political clout of TNCs is not defined solely by numbers
on any dimension.
