Abstract

Classification of entities, for example, into national states, into social groups, into business enterprises and into scientific taxa, is an enduring problem in neural computing. In this paper, we look at the problems faced by researchers in developing a taxonomy of 'multinationality' and explore the use of hierarchical SOMs in 'discovering' a taxonomy of multinational corporations (MNCs).
