Global corporations have evolved over time from colonialism and imperialism to their current forms. They are now simultaneously referred to as multinational corporations or transnational corporations. They operate in many countries and have centralized decision making while allowing autonomy in local markets. BRICS economies like Brazil, India and China have seen significant growth in global corporations and represent an important force in global production and consumption. Non-equity modes of production have also become important in emerging economies through various contractual relationships. Global corporations are very powerful but also bring benefits and challenges to inequality and the global financial system that require oversight.
