Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multinational corporations have operations in several countries and regions of the world, which is exactly what ION Enterprises has based on the given information. Avery Shoes only exports its products but may not have production facilities in other countries. Wilton Paper may have operations in many countries but it being described as having "little allegiance to any country" does not fit the typical characteristics of a multinational corporation. Formby Manufacturing is an international business but it has a specific ownership structure with only one foreign branch, which may not necessarily reflect the characteristics of a true multinational corporation.
