Full Description

Scholarly attention has tended to focus on the owners and management of the multinationals, but when the focus is changed to that of subsidiaries, different aspects of business development and international capitalism come to light. Sandvik's study looks at the Falconbridge nickel refinery in Kristiansand, Norway.
