Transnational Corporation (TNC)
Corporations with operations, assets, and management across multiple countries, wielding significant economic and political influence in global development.
Real World
Shell operates in over 70 countries, extracting oil in Nigeria while refining and selling fuel across Europe — its Nigerian operations have been linked to delta pollution and community displacement.
Exam Focus
Avoid treating TNCs as uniformly positive or negative; 'evaluate' questions require you to weigh evidence and reach a justified conclusion.
