Abstract

The multinational companies represent the main topic of many studies due to their major role in the progress and the economic growth through the development of technical and social innovations. As the society has grown, business organizations with cross-border activity have developed a strong position in the global economy, especially due to the high flow of resources that they manage. Therefore, it should be take into consideration the fact that the decision on carry out operations in several markets, states, regions is based on accessing resources, gaining advantages, improving their competitiveness. The main issue that the present study attempts to capture concerns the intense activity of these categories of organizations worldwide, but also the power that they have accumulated over time. The research includes a review of the opinions of some authors in the field of international affairs, as well as a series of empirical evidence presented by a number of international organizations about the activity of these economic entities on the world market. This analysis attempts to highlight the major impact that big business organizations have had on the development of society without omitting the power that they have gained by conducting operations in different areas of the world. In fact, the analyzed aspects show an orientation of companies in this category in certain geographical areas similar to the country of origin.
