Series: Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in international production worldwide, accompanied by considerable changes in its geographical structure. This volume examines the role of transnational corporations (TNCs) in the geography of international production, covering both theoretical

and empirical aspects. The book is structured into four parts:
* Part one: introduces transnational corporations in their integration role; analyses the various types of international transactions in which they are involved, providing empirical evidence
* Part two: considers a variety of business networks from both empirical and theoretical perspectives
* Part three: presents an analysis of the impact that strategies of organisational and locational fragmentation have on transnationals and their activities
* Part four: presents a theoretical analysis of the globalisation process and the role of TNCs; identifies the TNC and the information and communication technologies as the dominant cause of the process, and

draws the theoretical and policy implications of this. This

work will be of essential interest to scholars, policy-makers and professionals in the areas of international business strategy, international economics and political science.

Reviews for Transnational Corporations: Fragmentation amidst Integration

'Ietto-Gillies's publication represents an interesting and compelling treatment of the dominant role of transnational companies (TNC's) in the globisation process and the configuration of a new world division of labour ... One of the most appealing aspects of Ietto Gillies's book is that she is ambitious in effectively intergrating both economic, institutional and political theories from a broad set of what have often been largely disparate literatures to conceptualise her analysis of TNC's.' - Global Business and Economics Review 'This remarkable book represents an essential, detailed and highly readable contribution to the study of transnational corporations (TNCs) and globalization processes.' - Simona Iammarino, Transnational Corporations
