It has been proved that J.K. Galbraith’s theory of firm quite explains the phenomenon of multinational corporations (MNC) existence and is suitable for the analyzing the MNCs’ behavior in the emerging markets. The authors’ position concerning J.K. Galbraith’s contribution into development of the theory of multinational corporations has been grounded. The attention has been focused on the underestimation by the scientific community of the J.K. Galbraith’s theoretical heritage in developing of the theoretical basis for analysis of the MNCs’ behavior in the international markets and the importance of corporate management for implementation of the development strategies. This is connected with the necessity for developing a modern and effective corporation’s technostructure.
