What role does government policy play in shaping the varied impacts of transnational corporations (TNCs) on local economies of cities within less developed countries (LDCs) versus more developed countries (MDCs)?
Governments in both types of countries implement stringent protections against TNCs to encourage autonomy in economic development without help from external entities.
Government policies in LDCs often offer incentives that facilitate TNC investment leading to industrial clusters while MDCs tend to regulate TNC involvement for market stability and protection of domestic industries.
More developed countries typically adopt completely open market policies for TNCs to create jobs whereas less developed nations enforce substantial barriers to entry to deter foreign competition and economic dominance.
Both LDCs and MDCs expedite unrestricted TNC entry into their markets without consideration for domestic businesses which ensures uniform economic growth.
