Stages of Formation of the Cost of Modern Goods As Goods of Multinational Companies

Abstract

The modern world of consumer goods is the world of complex goods. The complexity of a modern product is expressed not in the features of its consumption, but in the specifics of the whole process of its production and consumption, which includes four stages of creation and maintenance of value: the pre-commodity stage at which the goods are created mentally; production stage; a trading stage and a stage of long-term consumption, at which the commodity can exist for a long time due to the fact that its use value is supported by the corresponding production processes. The creation of a modern product is especially effective for transnational companies, which makes the activities of the latter an economic basis for the existing political processes in the world and the related conflicts between countries.
