| Summary/Abstract |
The book under review is an attempt to delineate primarily the latest trends in the development of TNC. One of the most important new trends is the rapid growth of especially big corporations which are not merely becoming the more influential actors in world economy, but are increasingly claiming for themselves the decisive position in world politics and setting the tone for the entire political and cultural life on the global, regional and national levels.
Company reports, stock exchange bulletins, and appraisals made by many teams of researchers in particular by those of Fortune magazine, that have been published regularly since 1954 as well as ratings of 500 biggest companies around the world make it possible to contend that the impact of especially large TNC has been steadily growing between the end of the 20th century and at the start of the 21st century.
