Goal of the MNC
The commonly accepted goal of an MNC is to maximize shareholder wealth.
We will focus on MNCs that wholly own their foreign subsidiaries.
Financial managers throughout the MNC: have a single goal of maximizing the value of the entire MNC.

Conflicts with the MNC Goal
When a corporation's shareholders differ from its managers, a conflict of goals can exist--the agency problem.
Agency costs are normally larger for MNCs than for purely domestic firms, due to:
the difficulty in monitoring distant managers, the different cultures of foreign managers, the sheer size of the larger MNCs, and the tendency to downplay short-term effects.
