Determinants of attitudes toward multinational firms: Host arab society elites
研究了东道国阿拉伯社会精英对跨国公司态度形成的五个个人变量（民族主义、国际主义、经济意识形态、信心、直接接触满意度）的影响，发现国际主义倾向、经济意识形态偏好和直接接触满意度会积极影响态度。
Abstract Indigenous elites provide the crucial linkages between their domestic societies and the international economic order. The study attempts a measurement of the weight or salience of five personal variables to the process of attitude formation toward multinational firms among host Arab society elites. These variables are: (1) nationalism, (2) internationalism, (3) economic ideology, (4) confidence, and (5) satisfaction in direct personal contact. It is hypothesized that these variables will have influence upon an elite's attitude toward multinational firms. The result of the empirical study points out that an elite internationalism orientation, economic ideology preference, and satisfaction in direct personal contact with multinational firms will positively influence attitudes towards multinational firms (MNFs).
