This article seeks characterization of transnational corporations (TNCs), their importance on a global scale and its impact on developing countries. This information related to the subject is systematized, given its timeliness and relevance. We conclude that the impact of TNCs in developing countries tends to be negative, due to the conditions under which these are active.
