“MNE’s huge factor of wealth distribution inequality”
By. Jaime Nunez Saracho A01224281
A multinational enterprise (MNE) has operating affiliates located in foreign countries. A
MNE looks for an advantage of where to produce cheaper and where to sell more
expensive. This is one of the major objectives of an MNE to obtain an advantage against
competitors by producing cheaper. However, they also face several risks such as exchange
risk and political risks just to name a few that can damage the entire production and the
MNE as a whole. An MNE is more expose than a local enterprise.
Mexican enterprises have grown considerably in the past years, the most important MNE
currently in Mexico are America Movil lead by Daniel Hajj, Cementos Mexicanos
(CEMEX) lead by Lorenzo Zambrano, Grupo Bimbo lead by Daniel Servitje, Grupo
FEMSA lead by Jose Antonio Fernandez and Mexichem lead by Rafael Davalos Sandoval.
There are other important MNE like Gruma, Grupa Alfa or Grupo Salinas. The most recent
study that directly links CEO salary vs average employee salary in USA was done by a
well-known newspaper El Universal who states that a CEO or general manager makes
around 343 more times than the average worker. Another study shows that a Mexican CEO
makes almost 50 times more than the average salary, the reason why this is lower than the
United States its because of the size and number of enormous MNE in the USA. I believe
that if we exclusively study the 5 major MNE’s in Mexico the difference would be similar
