a)    What    are    Multinational    Companies    (MNCs)    and    why    it    is    said    that    they    hold ‘best    practices’    and    ‘state    of    the    art’    technological    and organisational    knowledge? 

b) Let’s    assume    that    you    are    the    manager    of    a    local    company    in    your  own country aiming    at    supplying    goods    and    services    to    MNCs.    What strategies    would   you    introduce    in    order    to    maximise    the    benefits    of    partnering with    MNC  subsidiaries? Please    explain    fully.

c)  In    a    second    scenario,    assume    you    are    the    manager    of    a    domestic    rival company    aiming    at    competing    with    MNCs.    What    processes    and    steps  would    you  take    to    compete    and    remain    in    the    market?
