| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past two decades more emerging/developing economies have become home to a rising number of multinational corporations. Now that a majority share of the world's gdp has begun to be supplied by today's non-industrialised nations, with the expectation of more to come in the decades ahead, it is important to have a better understanding of the current facts and figures surrounding these 'emerging' multinationals. This is the main objective of this study, which has the additional aim of analysing the future prospects of these companies as they compete with their First World counterparts. Its main conclusions are that, presently, there is a rather small number of home nations and a limited number of multinationals domiciled therein; relatively more advanced emerging economies have produced larger, publicly listed, globally oriented enterprises; and the future prospects of such firms will be greatly influenced by major economic and political reforms to be undertaken by their respective home governments
