Abstract
The outstanding role reached by the biggest transnational firms whose economic activity overpassed the states in which their siege is located is analysed in this.paper. It is noticeable that these firms deal with the most various productive subsectors. The main subject of the paper is the spatial distribution of these firms, which allows an explanation fot the reasons motivating their location. It is also analysed the strategic weight that these world regions have in the growing intemationalisation of the economy. The United States of America, Japan and the Westem European countries are the dominant pnvileged areas with a greater concentration of these entities. Opposite these countries there are only a few couniries all over the World, with a timid presence of these fims.Downloads
