The unending embrace: Raymond Vernon, multinational enterprises, and national governments 1 1 Raymond Vernon mentored me, first as a doctoral thesis advisor, then as a co-teacher and co-author, and, eventually, as a senior colleague. My relationship with Professor Vernon spanned a short decade (1989–1999). For half that period I occupied a small office that was set next to his own. That granted me the privilege of daily contact with him from which I benefited immeasurably. In my remarks here, I draw upon my discussions with him and, of course, upon his writings. Also, I want to thank Robert Lawrence, Ilian Mihov, Jeffrey Reuer, and Lou Wells for giving me feedback on a draft of this article.
