A multinational corporation (MNC) or multinational enterprise (MNE) or transnational corporation (TNC) or multinational organization (MNO) is a corporation/enterprise that manages production establishments or delivers services in at least two countries.
Multinational corporations (MNC) are often divided into three broad groups:
* Horizontally integrated multinational corporations manage production establishments located in different countries to produce same or similar products.
* Vertically integrated multinational corporations manage production establishment in certain country/countries to produce products that serve as input to its production establishments in other country/countries.
* Diversified multinational corporations manage production establishments located in different countries that are neither horizontally or vertically integrated.
Very large multinationals have budgets that exceed those of many countries. They can have a powerful influence in international relations, given their large economic influence in politicians' representative districts, as well as their extensive financial resources available for public relations and political lobbying.
Multinationals have played an important role in globalization. Given their international reach and mobility, prospective countries, and sometimes regions within countries, must compete with each other to have MNCs locate their facilities (and subsequent tax revenue, employment, and economic activity) within. To compete, countries and regional political districts offer incentives to MNCs such as tax breaks, pledges of governmental assistance or improved infrastructure, or lax environmental and labor standards. This process of becoming more attractive to foreign investment can be characterized as a race to the bottom.

Look at the word: multinational
multi - means many or more than one
national - means country
so a multinational company is a company that is in more than one country.

Multinational companies are big and usually famous companies that do business in more than one country. And in all of those countries they have their buildings where they do business. For example: McDonald's, IBM, Microsoft.. But usually the main company is in the USA.
