Globalization forces, commonly denoted by openness, trade liberalization and political reforms, facilitate their accelerated growth. MNCs, in particular, have been instrumental in strengthening the economic growth in the emerging nations through international trade, investment and production. This special issue aims at investigating these issues. Possible topics are as follows:

Methodological difficulties in measuring competitiveness.
