Description: The subject of the following study is the sociocultural impact of transnational firms of developing countries. The United Nations, through the Center on Transnational Corporations, commissioned two seperate reports on the subject. According to the terms of the agreement, one was to analyze the "positive impact of transnational firms"; and the other, my responsibility, was to focus on the "negative impact." Moreover, the two reports were to allow the foundations to be laid for policies within the framework of self-reliance.
