Summary:

Canada is one of the principal exporters of capital to other countries. It is home to several multinationals which in their respective areas of activity are among the largest in the world. This goundbreaking work, originally published in French, considers the nature and role of over a dozen companies in the manufacturing, mining, and public service sectors, challenging existing theories of multinationals.
