Evaluate the impacts of transnational corporations (TNCs) on MEDCs.

When you are given an open-ended essay question the first thing you should do is define your key terms. This question can clearly be linked to globalisation, a key geographical phenomenon. Therefore, a description of globalisation linked to TNCs would be valuable in this evaluation. This should be followed by your focus within the question, that is your argument. You need to focus either the relative impacts such as more positive than negative or another angle would be the type of impact such as greater economic than social.An example of the start of the essay would therefore be:Globalisation is the increasing flows of ideas, people, services and goods around the world stimulating further interconnectedness and interdependence between countries. It is often considered a mainly economic process and is associated with TNCs having market dominance, power and influence in the countries they operate in. TNCs are large corporations which operate in more than one country.
