, Multinational Financial Management: An Overview  2 y y y y y y




Chapter Theme y




This chapter introduces the multinational corporation as having similar goals to the purely domestic
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y corporation, but a wider variety of opportunities. With additional opportunities come potential increased
y y y y y y y y y y y y




y returns and other forms of risk to consider. The potential benefits and risks are introduced.
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




Topics to Stimulate Class Discussion
y y y y




1. What is the appropriate definition of an MNC?
y y y y y y y




2. Why does an MNC expand internationally?
y y y y y




3. What are the risks of an MNC which expands internationally?
y y y y y y y y y




4. Why must purely domestic firms be concerned about the international environment?
y y y y y y y y y y




POINT/COUNTER-POINT:
Should an MNC Reduce Its Ethical Standards to Compete Internationally?
y y y y y y y y y




POINT: Yes. When a U.S.-based MNC competes in some countries, it may encounter some business
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y norms there that are not allowed in the U.S. For example, when competing for a government
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y contract, firms might provide payoffs to the government officials who will make the decision. Yet, in
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y the United States, a firm will sometimes take a client on an expensive golf outing or provide skybox
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y tickets to events. This is no different than a payoff. If the payoffs are bigger in some foreign countries,
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y the MNC can compete only by matching the payoffs provided by its competitors.
y y y y y y y y y y y y




COUNTER-POINT: No. A U.S.-based MNC should maintain a standard code of ethics that applies to any
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




country, even if it is at a disadvantage in a foreign country that allows activities that might be viewed
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y as unethical. In this way, the MNC establishes more credibility worldwide.
y y y y y y y y y y
