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’.

Limitation of the Study
Due to the following constraints, there
were limitations to the researcher could go with this research work. These
constraints include:
Inadequate materials, journals, periodicals and other documented
materials relating to this research topic.
Financial problem – the high cost of materials, cost
of mobility to and fro location of research (field) and also high cost of
obtaining research materials.
Time – time factors was also another constraints as it
was really hectic combining this research work with lectures, assignments,
tutorials seminars and other extracurricular activities like church meetings.
Poor network – where it would have been helpful to
source for data online via the internet, our network providers were in no way
helpful.
