Newly industrialising countries (NICs) as host countries and countries of origin, and NICs importance in the changing world economy. Different attitudes in both the host and countries of origin to transnational corporations. |
Definition
of an NIC. Identify NICs. Look at spatial pattern. Basing the work on
a case study (as far as possible), explain why NICs became host countries,
(e.g., cheaper labour costs, expanding market, government, and weaker
environmental laws, geographical location). Develop why they become
countries of origin (stronger domestic industries but rising costs,
therefore, move outwards). Look at changing importance in world economy. |
