W literaturze przedmiotu wiele badań inspirowanych jest chęcią zidentyfikowania czynników oraz pogłębienia wiedzy o modelach współczesnych przedsiębiorstw. Jest tak również w przypadku przedsiębiorstw międzynarodowych, choć samo znaczenie tego pojęcia pozostaje niejednoznaczne. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki studiów literatury przedmiotu zmierzających do określenia wyznaczników stanowiących o swoistości współczesnego przedsiębiorstwa międzynarodowego. Wynikiem analizy jest wyselekcjonowanie koncepcji, które w teorii odwzorują współczesną organizację, wskazanie związków między tymi koncepcjami oraz opracowanie kluczowego profilu charakterystycznego tak rozumianego przedsiębiorstwa. Jednym z istotnych wyników analizy było uchwycenie wysoce dywergentnego (w porównaniu do tradycyjnego) podejścia do źródeł wzrostu i rozwoju przedsiębiorstw, wynikającego z globalnego zasięgu działań.

In professional literature there are many researches that are inspired by the willingness to identify factors or deepen knowledge about models of modern enterprises. The matter concerns multinational enterprises as well, although the meaning of the term remains ambiguous. The paper presents results of professional literature study that has aimed at indicating determinants underlying the dual nature of modern multinational enterprises. Conceptions that in theory reflect modern organization have been selected. Both the linkages among them and the profile of enterprises understood in accordance with their postulates are presented. One of the important elements of the analysis is the identification (with comparison to traditional one) of highly divergent approach to the sources of growth as well as the development of enterprises that stems from their globalscope of activities.
