A global company can provide many benefits to its host country, both social and economic. Global companies ofttimes improve the economic situation of the host country by providing jobs for the host country's citizens and by improving trade between the host country and the home country. By providing jobs for the local people, global companies are also improving social situations. Unemployment will go down and, if there are enough companies employing local people, it's even possible for the standard of living to go up substantially and the life expectancy to raise because more citizens will have jobs, income, and access to products. In addition, when global companies set up factories or stores in other countries, then more companies and businesses will do business with that country. This means that more products will be available to the people, as there will be more trade and possibly more stores.

There are many benefits that a global company could provide to its host country. The fact that your business has expanded into a global company is definitely one benefit. There will be more money coming in, and the chance to provide jobs for those in the other countries working for your company. It can provide insight on the culture and the way of life in the other countries that your business is in. It can also offer more choices to consumers on which products they might want.

There are many benefits to a host country. This can be done by creating jobs for people which would help eliminate some percentages of unemployment rates. Also, money can be very beneficial. Money will also help the economy out since more people have jobs they can buy more goods and services. In the consumers eyes, they could have a more wide variety of things since there desires can slowly start being fulfilled.

Global companies can provide a lot of benefits to the host countries. For example, a multinational corporation can provide jobs, income, and help to raise the economy of an area. With one company in a country, it provides an example for others to follow, especially if the company is prosperous, making for increased trade for the country as a whole. Global companies can provide an economic boost to any country.

Some ways a global company can provide social and economic benefits to a host country are by providing workers from their own country so host workers don't need to cross the into another country to take care of them. This may take training costs but in then long run the company will run more efficiently. Also this will create a social stability between the customers and the sellers since they are from the same country.
