(multinationals of multinationals) can operate in a "geocentric" way, planning the location of their production and the pattern of their investments according to the balance of advantages in the whole capitalist world economy. For example, in the short term these geocentric multinationals have the ability to increase the level of production in one country at the expense of another and in the long term they could even shift the entire balance of their production between countries.`new international division of labor” (NIDL) developed by Frobel (1980). The NIDL draws attention to the impact of multinational corporations, but its specific aim is to aim for the development of a world market in which manufacturing production can be broken down into fragments and located in any industrialized or less developed part of the world, a depending on where the country is located. the most profitable combination of labor and capital can be obtained. While this analysis is strong in contemporary empirical detail, it also presents a historical contrast between (i) a “classical” international division of labor, in which a minority of industrialized countries produced manufactured goods and less developed countries were integrated into the world economy exclusively as producers of food and raw materials, and (ii) NIDL, where the traditional “bisection” of the world economy is compromised. What the NIDL entails is the closure of certain types of production activities in advanced industrial countries (ALC) and the subsequent opening of these same activities in foreign branches of the same company. According to (Lipietz, ) most jobs created in developing countries involve `Taylorism' rather than `Fordism' and `primitive Taylorism'. {. . What he means by this is that the types of jobs that are mainly moved into the textile and electronics sectors are not connected by any automatic machine system, but are fragmented and repetitive and therefore labor-intensive in the strictest sense of the term. Frobel wrote that "Most manufacturers prefer female workers because they have a longer attention span than men and can more easily adjust to long hours on the assembly line. They are also willing to accept lower pay and are said to have more agile hands, which is especially important in electronics.
