The paper will highlight the controversies inherent in the operations of Multi National Corporations in the developing world by articulating how they would not have done the same business practices in the developed states. Why are there these major differences? These questions will be debunked in light of examples of major corporations’ activities such as Nike, copper extraction in the Zambian copper belt and the use of child labour in tea plantations in West Africa among others. The paper will conclude by analysing the various responses by different lobby groups to these shadowy business practices.
