Abstract
The article considers current trends of transnationalization in the light of globalization of the world economy. The sources and channels of foreign direct investments are analyzed. It is pointed out, that the degree of TNC penetration into other countries’ economies is described by a means of ranking companies called transnationality index. The key factors of the rapid growth of TNCs and their turning into one of the most important actors of the current market economy are identified. There seems to be a tendency to a greater consolidation of TNCs, which is evidenced by a growing number of mergers and acquisitions of economic entities. It is noted that an increase in foreign direct investments over the last decades has been related to a rapid growth of international corporations that make investments, have branches and subsidiaries in many countries of the world. It is stressed that a further study of transnationalization should be carried out to understand both positive and negative consequences of structural changes in the global economy. A particular attention should be paid to changes in ways and systems of interaction between strategically significant sectors of the economy. A primary purpose of the paper is to consider the current role of TNCs, and to assess the degree of TNCs’ impact on the dynamics of changes in the world economy and international economic relations in the context of transnationalization. The growth of TNCs, which is currently observed, has given a new impetus to integration processes in the world economy. Definitely, it is due to the fact that overseas branches seek to be an integral part of economies of host countries and become incorporated into domestic markets of other countries. Modern TNCs are a combination of national enterprises and foreign affiliates, that form a coherent global system, in which separate branches located in various countries, operate within a framework of unified global strategy. Another feature of TNCs is their severe competition not only in the world markets of goods and services, but also on capital, labour, technology, and information markets.
