Abstract

In the entire globalization process multinational corporations occupy the central position. It is difficult to conceptualize globalization without multinational corporations, and people's reactions to the globalization process, as a consequence, is directed mostly towards them. Therefore, exploring the perceptions of people about globalization becomes a meaningful effort. The objective of this study is to assess how students perceive MNCs. This survey is based on a sample of 575 students from six post graduate level institutions from Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad and Indore. One of the institutions from Hyderabad was the economics department in a University and the remaining five institutions offer MBA programmes. Attitude towards MNCs was assessed with the help of two independent measures, viz, (1) an index of belief in the unethical business practices of MNCs and (2) the extent to which the respondents believe that the MNCs are opportunist about their business practices. The findings indicate that the MNCs are not perceived in positive terms by the students.
