Answer:
Multinational companies are those having operations in more than one country. They are subject to fluctuations in international exchange rates, tariffs, duties, and restrictions on trade. The most successful ones have established production points where labor is cheap, and use secure and affordable transportation to deliver to their markets. Many multinationals (and some single nation companies) use outsourcing and subcontractors to reduce their exposures to taxes and government regulation. Many multinationals wield extensive systems of lobbyists and government connections.
