This innovative work provides a greater understanding of the relationships between transnational corporations and the economic development of host economies. In the age of globalization, awareness of the mechanisms through which foreign firms impact on host countries is crucial. The emphasis lies on backward linkages and knowledge transfer to local firms. The book offers a theoretical framework for the activities of TNCs and a review of their impacts on South East Asian economies.
