CHAPTER ONE

 INTRODUCTION

1.1            Background to the Study

A multinational company is a company that has the whole world as its market from which it purchases raw materials; source for funds, manufactures its products and which it further projects for sales.   Some people associated multinational companies with non – colonialism, the Europeans America Nations described multinationals as the engine of growth in the underdeveloped countries.

Different schools of thought gave their approach to this issue by suggesting an evolutionary process of international to multinational, transitional and super national organization.

A multinational company has designs of its production facilities around the world. Onimode (1985) in his example using Ford said it “was jointly designed by European and the U.S. teams and is sold with only minor variations in dozens to foreign markets”.

Ford makes and sell other cars in Europe that are never seen in the United States, Ford cars are designed, produced and sold or individual markets wherever they are and without regard for national boundaries. Multinational companies though spread its activities worldwide produces specifications to suit individual nations. Multinational companies are otherwise called multinational corporations (NNC’S) or multinational Business.

The multinationals came into focus after the World War II and gained attention by mid 1950s and became highly conspicuous by the end of 1960s (Vemon 1971). The tremendous growth and spread of global enterprises during the twentieth century infringed and reduced national boundaries fading ink to foreign presentation. The spread of multinational corporations in addition to the huge financial wealth and economic power has created fear and confusion in international politics and analysis.

The fear is in two areas firstly is MNC an independent actor in world policies or as agent of parent country foreign policy. Secondary, do MNC’S autonomous actors posses political and economic power equal to or greater than the majority of foreign states?

 

 

 

 

 

1.2            Statement of the Problem

The Nigeria nation existed with all the natural resources she was endowed with before coming in touch with the Western World. The contact with the white men resulted into a trade which marked a doom for the Africa nation at large due to an imbalance of the trading pattern.

The aim of this study is to look at the impacts of these multinational corporations on the Nigeria economy which falls into the positive impacts and also the negative impacts and how this can be curtailed to create a more enabling economic condition for the Nigeria society.

The problem is in the area of economic exploitation which started as a result of the contractual agreement signed by African Nationalists who schooled abroad on demand for self rule.

The actual implication of the contract signed was that the European were extending their rules over Africa but this time using Africans who in the word of Franz Fanon (2004) were referred to as ‘Black Skin, White Masks’.
