The rise of multinational enterprises (MNEs) has been a significant force in driving the global economy, technological advancement, and product innovation. These companies have played a pivotal role in shaping the world economy and the global technological revolution. However, their involvement in financial fraud and corporate scandal has raised concerns about the need for improved corporate governance practices.

Amid the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, populism and deglobalization have resurged, accompanied by the emergence of protectionism and unilateralism. These trends are exerting negative impacts on the world economy, making it challenging to achieve sustainable development. In such a complex and challenging environment, companies must demonstrate their management and governance abilities to navigate these challenges effectively.

This book aims to provide a valuable resource for university research-led teaching and fundamental research in corporate governance theories of MNEs in general. It will also utilize Chinese case studies as evidence to support our theoretical arguments. By examining the governance practices of MNEs in China, we can gain insights into the unique challenges and opportunities that these companies face in the global marketplace.

The book will cover a range of topics, including the role of MNEs in the global economy, corporate governance challenges, and the impact of government policies on MNEs. It will also explore the strategies that MNEs use to manage their operations and ensure sustainable development, including the adoption of international standards and the implementation of ethical practices.

In conclusion, the rise of MNEs has brought about both opportunities and challenges for the global economy. While these companies have played a significant role in driving innovation and growth, their involvement in financial fraud and corporate scandal has highlighted the need for improved corporate governance practices. By examining the governance practices of MNEs in China and other countries, this book aims to contribute to the understanding of corporate governance theories and provide valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers alike.
