"A multinational or transnational enterprise is an enterprise that engages in foreign direct investment (FDI) and owns or controls value-adding activities in more than one country. This is the threshold definition of a multinational enterprise (MNE), and one that is widely accepted in academic and business circles, by data collecting agencies such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations (UNCTC) and by most national governments."
