Transnational corporations have become central organizers of economic activities and major actors in shaping the international division of labor. They perform this role through foreign direct investment in the host country enterprises (UNCTAD, 1992). TNCs can undertake FDI in a host country in either of two ways: greenfield investment in a new facility, or acquiring or merging with an existing local firm. (UNCTAD , 2000)
By most measures TNCs play a larger role in the world economy today than they did in the past in terms and in relation to key economic indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), exports and domestic capital formation in the world economy as a whole and in the host countries both developed and developing (UNCTAD, 1992)
Various international organizations and foreign advisors recommend developing countries to rely primarily on foreign direct investment (FDI) as a source of external finance. They argue that, for several reasons, FDI stimulates economic growth more than other types of capital inflows. In particular, FDI is supposed to be less volatile, and to offer not just capital but also access to modern technology and know-how. However, it is surprisingly hard to come by empirical evidence supporting this policy advice. Some studies find a positive relationship between FDI inflows and economic growth in host economies. (Caves, 1996).

Why can TNC's pull out at any time?
Transnational corporations (TNCs) can pull out at any time due to factors such as changes in market conditions, strategic priorities, or government policies in the host country. TNCs often have the flexibility to adjust their operations based on these factors to protect their investments and interests. Additionally, TNCs may choose to withdraw if they find better opportunities elsewhere or if the operating environment becomes too risky or unstable.
Why TNCs products are made in LEDC?
Transnational Corporations (TNCs) often manufacture products in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) due to lower labor costs, relaxed regulations, and access to raw materials. This helps TNCs reduce production expenses and increase profit margins. Additionally, LEDCs often offer tax incentives and subsidies to attract foreign investment and encourage economic growth.
