Özet
Şirketlerin uluslararasılaşma süreçleri özellikle son yirmi yıldır çeşitli araştırma ve
tartışmalara konu olmaktadır. Çokuluslu şirket (ÇUŞ) olarak adlandırılan bazı şirketlerin devasa
boyutlara ulaşması, onları hem akademik hem de siyasi alanlarda ilgi odağı haline getirmiştir.
Bu makalede; çokuluslu şirketlerin uluslararası faaliyetleri hakkındaki başlıca kuramlardan
birisi olan Hymer’in kuramı incelenmiştir. Hymer’in görüşlerinin genel bir tanıtımı, ÇUŞ
kuramı ve küreselleşmenin politik ekonomisine dair temel savları ele alınmıştır. Buna ek olarak
yazarın çalışmalarının özellikle uluslararası işletmecilik ve Marksist yazın açsından katkıları
geliştirilen kurama yönelik olumsuz eleştirilerle beraber değerlendirilmektedir.
