Working Group on Transnational Corporations and Development

TNCs may play a central role in ensuring development in developing countries and transition countries by increasing economic growth and contributing to social development. But TNCs may also bring developing countries on a dependant path where local firms remain focused on low value added activities and where host countries become increasingly vulnerable to the global strategies of TNCs. The private sector's contribution to development has gained increased attention within firm strategy and management thinking as well as within thinking on development strategy. However, research on the impact of TNCs and FDI on developing countries and countries in transition is still fragmented and limited in various fields, which makes it pertinent to shed new light on these aspects.
