Rise of the Global Company (eBook, ePUB)

Multinationals and the Making of the Modern World

Beschreibung

This is the first full account of how an influential form of commercial organization - the multinational enterprise - drove globalization and contributed to the making of the modern world. Robert Fitzgerald explores the major role of multinational enterprises in the events of world history, from the nineteenth century to the present, revealing how the growth of businesses that operated across borders contributed to an unprecedented worldwide transformation and deepening interdependence between countries. He demonstrates how international businesses shaped the economic development and competitiveness of nations, their politics and sovereignty, and the balance of power in international relations. The Rise of the Global Company uses the lessons of history to question prominent contemporary interpretations of multinationals and their consequences, and offers a truly wide-ranging survey of multinational enterprise, spanning two hundred years and five continents.

Autor

From his commitment to Christ at age eight to adulthood, Robert faced various challenges contributing to the loss of his God-given identity. The cross, the power of the Holy Spirit, God's Word, and his wife's prayers led to his breakthrough and restoration. While a young adult pastor, Robert prepared a seven-week series called "Relocating God's Version of Me." Its success led to its evolvement into a book benefiting people everywhere. Robert has a bachelor's in biblical studies from Northpoint Bible College (formerly Zion Bible College) and a master of arts in education from St. John's University. He has been a teacher for over seventeen years. He and his wife currently serve as ministers at Living Hope International Church in Rhode Island.

Rezensionen

'This is an ambitious study, long in preparation, on the vast reach of multinational enterprises and on their importance in the transformation of the modern world economy. It draws on a formidable collection of individual company data, emphasizing the interactions between firms and diplomatic, military, and political, as well as economic history. It covers a wide range of multinational enterprises in agriculture and mining and services as well as in manufacturing. It is a fascinating work.' Mira Wilkins, Florida International University
