Multinational corporations figure prominently in globalization debates because of the way they purportedly challenge nation-states in the shaping of the social world, but what is their transformative capacity in the lives of those they directly employ? This dissertation looks at the case of the high-skilled workers of multinational corporations to assess whether, to what extent, and in what ways, their employment relationship engenders transnationality in and out of the workplace. The empirical material of the dissertation consists of a combination of primary and secondary data within the context of the mobile telecommunications sector and pertains to three of its top multinational corporations, based in Finland, Sweden, and the United States, respectively. The primary data comprises of findings from three years of intermittent fieldwork carried out between 2001 and 2004 in two home country locations, Finland and Sweden, as well as a periphery location, Turkey. This data includes in-depth interviews following a life-history format with 72 high-skilled workers, as well as additional interviews with key informants in all country sites. The first half of the dissertation inquires whether the group at hand qualifies as a transnational social class, and argues that they do not. Multinational corporations' enduring home-country orientation and hence their continuing national character, on the one hand, and the variable meanings of high-skilled employment in different national contexts, on the other, constrain the possibilities of the consolidation of the workers of even the same corporations in a transnational social class. The second half of the dissertation explains how transnationality is nevertheless engendered in the high-skilled employment experience inside multinationals. On-site transnationality in the multinational corporate workplace involves connectivity between the nodes inside the global domains of the corporations, one the one hand, and the standardization of key practices across these nodes, on the other. Transnationality is also realized through mobility on the high-skilled job with multinational employers, and the final section of the dissertation provides a detailed description of the modes, rhythms, orbits, and meanings of such mobility.
