MNC-third world business unit performance: Application of strategic elements

Abstract

MNC-Third World business undertakings have often faced disappointing results. Partly because of this, the environmental forces in the developing nations have become more constraint-ridden for the operation of multinational firms. In this article, proposals are made on how the results of business co-operation between MNCs and Third World regions may be improved by attempting to structure appropriate linkages among product/market choices, types of business agreements and generic strategy considerations.
