Abstract
This paper uses research from the field of international business to investigate when a multinational corporation’s threat to leave a country is likely to have substance. Some multinationals have broad flexibility to relocate. Others do not. Customer expectations, transportation costs and organisational factors may limit their flexibility. The challenge for trade unions in high wage countries like Australia is to be able to assess these factors and judge whether threats to ‘move to Asia’ are viable. Often they are not.
