Picture yourself sitting in a discussion group at the local bookstore and proudly signing copies of your newly published book, Business Transitions in the New Global Economy. A book buyer invites a comment from you by stating: "I am interested in your point regarding the emergence of transitional corporations. But try as I might, a company like Ford or Proctor & Gamble will-always be 'as American as Apple pie' for me.
How would you respond in a way that clarifies the difference between a multinational and a transitional corporation? Explain some reasons why Ford or P&G may wish not to operate as or be viewed as "American" companies.
