“A corporation that controls production facilities in more than one country, such facilities having been acquired through the process of foreign direct investment, firms that participate in international business, however large they may be, solely by exporting or by licensing technology are not multinational enterprises.”

- Operate in a certain minimum number of nations (six for example)
- Derive some minimum percentage of its income from foreign operations (e.G., 25%)
- Have a certain minimum ratio of foreign to total number of employees, or of foreign total value of assets
- Possess a management team with geo-centric orientations.
- Directly control foreign investments (as opposed simply to holding shares in foreign companies).
