GLOBALIZATION
Multinational corporations are agents of globalization. At the same time, many multinational corporations are also affected by globalization in ways they may or may not like. This reality stems from the fact that multinational corporations have many subsidiaries, some of which benefit from globalization and others that do not. The effects of globalization on a multinational corporation can be good or bad, depending on the nature of the corporation in question. Multinational corporations may have a difficult time coordinating activities in a globalized economy. A company that operates in America, Japan and Europe will need to hire employees who speak many different languages, and it may be difficult for that company to make sure all employees are on the same page when only a few of them speak the same language. Translators may be called upon to assist in information coordination where language barriers exist. Other coordination problems may come from differences in cultural norms and business norms.
