问题 Most multinational corporations are made up of vast numbers of foreign subsidiaries, companies in which over 50 percent is owned by the parent company. Like all corporations, MNCs are organized according to the goals they set for themselves. They strive to retain access to the necessary resources: raw material, man-power and capital. Furthermore, they try to grow through global cooperation by increasing their access to world resources. This leads them to expand their foreign market position, in other words, to increase their market share. MNCs grew into strong entities by reinvesting their profits prudently so as to further increase access to resources. They had to hire more and more talented local people abroad, and they had to purchase raw materials in foreign countries.

选项

答案多数跨国公司都是由很多国外子公司组成的,母公司拥有子公司50%以上的股份。和所有公司一样,跨国公司也是按照他们自己的目标来组织的。他们努力得到必需的资源:原料、劳动力、资金,同时通过提高在世界范围内获得资源的能力,通过全球范围内的合作获得发展。这使他们不断提高自己在国外市场的地位,即增加他们的市场份额。通过将利润谨慎地进行再投资,跨国公司得以发展成为强大的实体,从而进一步提高了自身获得资源的能力。于是,他们不得不雇佣更多有能力的当地人,并从外国购买原料。
