- TNCs have boosted economic growth in Indonesia.

Keywords
Transnational corporations - TNCS are large companies that operate in several countries; they often have headquarters in one country and factories or offices in others
Foreign direct investment - (FDI) foreign countries and companies invest in businesses or industries in another country, often by setting up or buying local companies
Common misconception
TNCs have helped Indonesia to develop its own vehicle manufacturing companies.
While TNCs have been important in developing vehicle manufacturing in Indonesia, the vehicles they make are not Indonesian brands and the profits from selling them in Indonesia or in export markets go to the TNCs and not to Indonesian companies.
Teacher tip
Students could use Google Street View in urban centres in Indonesia to identify makes (brand) of cars on the streets, and see if it is true that Japanese makes dominate. Looking at the availability of Street View on different islands could be a way of introducing core and periphery.
