THE FORMS OF EXTERNAL MARKET PENETRATION BY TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS FROM NORTH AFRICA

https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-6646-2015-4-22-31

Abstract

The forms of foreign market entry by transnational corporations (TNC) from Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have been covered, including the foreign business organization specificities. Such entities actively use the mechanism of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) during the purchases of operational businesses from developed countries’ TNCs and establish joint ventures (JV) for the sake of acquiring new technology from abroad. The activities of North African TNCs concentrate in oil industry, construction and engineering services, and fabrication of primary products. Egyptian TNCs have managed to launch production of vehicles abroad, which has become possible due to participation in M&A and JV with German counterparts and entrepreneurs from China, Brazil, India, and South Korea.
