一、跨国公司质量管理面临的问题 随着经济和科技的调整发展,世界各国的社会再生产在不同程度上跨出了民族、国家和地区的界限。以发达国家的跨国投资为主流、以新兴工业化国家和发展中国家的跨国投资为支流,构与了当今国际经济联系中错综复杂、纵横交错的投资网络,使国际经济发生了根本的变化,即从国际贸易走向国际生产,从世界市场走向世界工厂,跨国公司应运而生。 跨国公司不同于其他国际化经营,对跨国公司这个概念的理解,可以从三个方面来分析:一是跨国性的,即以本国为基地的母公司,跨出国界在国外设立子公司从事生产和经营活动,二是采取“全球”战略来安排投资、生产和销售,三是公司内部实行集中的管理体 I. Problems facing the quality management of transnational corporations With the adjustment of economy and science and technology, social reproduction in various countries around the world has taken the boundaries of nations, nations, and regions to varying degrees. With cross-border investment from developed countries as the mainstream and cross-border investments from newly industrialized countries and developing countries as the tributaries, the complex and criss-crossing investment networks in today’s international economic ties have been constructed, which has fundamentally changed the international economy. As international trade moves toward international production, from the world market to the world’s factories, multinational companies have emerged. Multinational companies are different from other international operations. The understanding of the concept of multinational corporations can be analyzed from three aspects: First, the transnational nature, that is, the parent company based on the country, set up subsidiaries abroad to engage in production. And business activities, the second is to adopt a “global” strategy for arranging investment, production, and sales; and third is to implement centralized management within the company.
