Abstract:
We are aware by now that, when talking about transnational corporations, we refer to global economic
agents, to giant companies that are operating on extremely varied international markets. However, they are
guided, like any economic agent by the hedonistic principle. Companies of the type have come to have such an
expansion that they have, in a sense, lost their national character. The world of transnationals is extremely
varied, although, in the current context, in which the world economy suffers from the ongoing pandemic, all
large companies are forced to rethink their investment policies, to be able to adapt to the new global challenges.
We can say with certainty that, the year 2020 will mean for many transnational corporations, a year of balance
sheet and a year of fundamental change in the means of approaching to various international markets. It is clear
that pharmaceutical or IT companies will have a different take compared to those in the food industry, for
example. It is certain that, companies that will be more create, innovative, competitive, those that will adapt to
the new changes, will be able to succeed into a new world of globalization.
