Features: This book centers on transnational capital, showing us through the actions of multinational corporations under their leadership and their interactions with the outside world a globalized process of companies moving from domestic to international, from local to global, guided by the ideology of consumerism and driven by the fundamental pursuit of profit. Along the way, Mr. Sklar combines a wealth of factual material to elaborate in detail the underlying reasons for corporate behavior during the globalization process and the problem-solving methods of corporate leaders—the transnational capitalist class. While emphasizing that corporate globalization is the fundamental trend of current economic development, Mr. Sklar also clearly points out the impacts of corporate globalization on human society in various aspects, including politics, economics, and the environment. This book aims to introduce how the transnational capitalist class has driven the globalization of capitalism. What makes this book noteworthy is Mr. Sklar's in-depth investigation of internationally renowned companies, which yielded extensive and rich materials and led to fresh and innovative conclusions based on these materials, such as the distinctions and studies of concepts like multinational corporations, global companies, and the differences between internationalization and globalization. Additionally, Mr. Sklar puts forward valuable insights on corporate globalization, such as the view that a domestic company with "overseas branches" is not necessarily a globalized company. These materials and insights hold significant reference and research value for readers concerned with and studying global economic integration, as well as for Chinese enterprises facing the need to reshape corporate systems, clarify corporate guiding principles, and soon enter the global market.
