Answer

Explain any three methods of controlling production across countries by MNCs:
  1. MNCs set up production where it is close to the markets; where there is skilled and unskilled labour available at low costs; and where the availability of other factors of production is assured.
  2. In addition, MNCs might look for government policies that look after their interests.
  3. MNCs set up production jointly with some of the local companies of these countries. But the most common route for MNC investments is to buy up local companies and then to expand production.
  4. Large MNCs in developed countries place orders for production with small producers. Garments, footwear, sports items are examples of industries where production is carried out by a large number of small producers around the world.
  5. The products are supplied to the MNCs, which then sell these under their own brand names to the customers.

Read the passage on the left and answer the questions.
Ford Motors, an American company, is one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers with production spread over 26 countries of the world. Ford Motors came to India in 1995 and spent Rs. 1700 crore to set up a large plant near Chennai. This was done in collaboration with Mahindra and Mahindra, a major Indian manufacturer of jeeps and trucks. By the year 2004, Ford Motors was selling 27,000 cars in the Indian markets, while 24,000 cars were exported from India to South Africa, Mexico and Brazil. The company wants to develop Ford India as a component supplying base for its other plants across the globe.
Why do you think the company wants to develop India as a base for manufacturing car components for its global operations? Discuss the following factors:
  1. Cost of labour and other resources in India.
  2. The presence of several local manufacturers who supply autoparts to Ford Motors.
