Abstract

P. J. Buckley and M. C. Casson (Buckley, P.J. and Casson, M.C. The future of the multinational enterprise. London: Macmillan, 1976) analysed the multinational enterprise (MNE) within a broad-based intellectual framework based on the pioneering work of Ronald Coase (Coase RH, Economica 4:386–405, 1937). Their book Future of the Multinational Enterprise demonstrated how seemingly unrelated aspects of multinational operations, such as technology transfer and international trade in semi-processed products, could be understood using a single concept – the internalization of imperfect markets.
