In: The journal of development studies: JDS, Band 15, Heft 3, S. 70-88

Abstract

The changing role of the intrafirm trade of transnational corporations is given attention. In Third World primary product exports, the old order of intrafirm trade is changing to one of arms length relationships, & this is generating new problems in marketing. Transnationals are becoming more important than before in Third World exporting, & the new protectionism of the Organization of Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) countries is encouraging this trend. Transnationals have easily adapted to changing economic & political circumstances; labor has had more difficulty. 4 Tables. Modified HA.
