Multinational companies are becoming increasingly common in developing countries. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

#companies #countries
In developing nations, transnational corporations are growing rapidly.
Although
, it is a good positive sign for companies in terms of cheap labour cost.
However
, there are some drawbacks of forcing workers to task for long working hours. The primary benefit of setting up companies in developing countries is low cost incurred in manufacturing products.
This
 is because, companies hire labours at a very low wages to produce product compared to their home country, due high salaries. Wages of western people's salaries are almost double than in the developing nations.
For example
, Apple companies most of their products manufactured in China and these products assembled in Japan,
that is
 why costly iPhones starting price are $499.
However
, there is a drawback of increasing number multinational companies, these companies apply their own strict rules of working hours for their own benefit to get results, sometimes people have to work for around 14 hours a day in these companies to meet deadlines.
This
 creates huge pressure on people to work harder beyond their limits, which is
also
 affecting their health mentally. One
such
 example is, a report stated by New York times in 2011, In China many Chinese labours was committing suicide because of immense pressure to perform task long hours from Apple corporation. In conclusion, the prime benefit for multinational companies prefer their products to be manufactured in developing is due to low cost labours, but the biggest drawback is, they are
also
 exploiting people to do jobs more numbers of hours.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
