What are the advantages of MNCs

Ans. Advantages of MNCs are following : 

• Access to Consumers: Access to consumers is one of the primary advantages that the MNCs enjoy over companies with operations limited to smaller region. Increasing accessibility to wider geographical regions allows the MNCs to have a larger pool of potential customers and help them in expanding, growing at a faster pace as compared to others.
• Accesses to Labor: MNCs enjoy access to cheap labor, which is a great advantage over other companies. A firm having operations spread across different geographical areas can have its production unit set up in countries with cheap labor. Some of the countries where cheap labor is available is China, India, Pakistan etc.
• Taxes and Other Costs: Taxes are one of the areas where every MNC can take advantage. Many countries offer reduced taxes on exports and imports in order to increase their foreign exposure and international trade.
