In this workshop, we will examine a number of different perspectives or representations of the multinational firm.
The workshop will present current debates and diverse perspectives on 1. the evolution of the multinational 2. the organization of the multinational 3. the impact and effects of the multinational
By looking at the multinational using different images or perspectives the workshop will seek to deconstruct some of the simplistic stereotypes of the multinational, and present insights into the multiple metaphors and plurality of images that can be used to understand the multinational and inform the practice of stakeholders.
This PDW highlights the plurality of perspectives and images of the multinational that have emerged in recent years and their contributions to raising awareness of the role and impact of the multinational in society and amongst communities.
The value of such an approach in a teaching context for International Management classes will be discussed.
Key words: multinationals, teaching, research
