Abstract

Stephen Hymer (1934–1974) is regarded as a seminal figure in the establishment of the theory of the multinational enterprise (MNE) and a founder of the academic subject of international business. This reputation is largely built on Hymer’s thesis, written in 1960 (published only as Hymer 1976) but also on his later writings which, after Hymer’s conversion to Marxism, took a critical view of the activities of MNEs and their impact on the world economy from the viewpoint of a radical economist.
