There are different levels at which host countries and MNC’s negotiate, as illustrated by Ramamurti (2001), Two bargaining models exists, they are; the two tier bargaining model and the tier one bargaining model. The tier two bargaining model is synonymous to the original bargaining model (traditional model) in which the bargaining power belongs to the stronger party involved at that particular scenario (survival of the fittest), the main difference arguably is that the tier two model allows for developing countries to negotiate terms with developed nations through multilateral organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
