Governments in NIC (newly industrialized countries) have tried to lure TNC to their countries. One way they have done this is by keeping the land prices artificially low; this is so the TNC can build factories and other building for less money. They also have a relaxed attitude to environmental laws so the TNCs do not have to pay out for expensive treatments for their waste so it complies with strict laws like the ones they have in the US, UK and Japan. Another thing that attracts TNCs to NICs is the cheap labour cost, weak unions and lack of minimum wage. This means that the TNC can pay workers less, not worry about providing good working conditions.
In the past having for example a bedroom from Fino showed to the world that you were very quality sensitive however as time passed, Fino started to get more affordable items. This may be due to the fact that it wasn't making enough sales since only a limited number of people could have bought Fino furniture. Hence Fino stopped producing its own furniture here in Malta and started to import it from abroad. Thus, one can say that Fino didn't fall into the trap of having a “love affair” with its products. The Marketing Philosophy: can be seen as a compliment to the production philosophy.
This increased openess allows countries to specialise in producing goods which they have a comparitve advantage in (this means they can produce goods at lower unit costs) A multinational Company is a corporation that has its facilities and other assets in at least one country other than its home country. There are many examples of MNC's such as Nike or Primark. MNC's play a massive part in the development of globalisation as they often invest heavily into the country they move into.

However in the long run they can use more time and energy to look for alternatives. Therefore they respond to price changes significantly. Here, television is a durable good and paper towels are non durable goods. Price elasticity of paper towels would not be larger in the short run because consumers will react very slowly in the short run for non durable goods. However in the long run consumers will realize the effect of changes in price and they will find new alternative products like kitchen towels or sponges etc.
Congress must agree on a plan, which could take years, and then the market must be weaned slowly from dependence on the companies and the financial backing they provide. The reasons by now are well understood. Fannie and Freddie, created to increase the availability of mortgage loans, misused the government's support to enrich shareholders and executives by backing millions of shoddy loans. Taxpayers so far have spent more than $135 billion on the cleanup. The much more divisive question is whether the government should preserve the benefits that the companies provide to middle-class borrowers, including lower interest rates, lenient terms and the ability to get a mortgage even when banks are not making other kinds of loans.

How can they afford to compete with a government funded broadcaster? They need viewers so they play what will get them ratings. In order to implement there required Canadian program, low cost new is often the result If what people want to watch is foreign television and if it is cheaper to program foreign TV then the chance to make more revenue is higher.

For this reason, this topic of research is extremely significant as a minimum wage hike is sensitive to the livelihoods of millions and, it questions whether it is a safe political instrument for economic development. Typically, the common textbook argument in economics is that when a minimum wage increase is implemented it impedes the economy by prompting a higher unemployment in the country. However, after scrutinizing the experiments and analysis conducted by economists surrounding this topic, it is proven that this textbook argument is invalid in developed countries, specifically in Canada and the United States. In fact, a minimum wage hike significantly drives consumer spending from increased household income at a cost
