摘要关于近代早期特许跨国公司的发展及其如何应对所面临的各种挑战，已有广泛的研究。本文以英国皇家非洲公司及其后继者--非洲商人贸易公司为例，对早期现代跨国企业的信息滞后进行了定量分析，试图为这一领域的研究做出贡献。结果表明，跨大西洋的信息滞后在世纪后半期有所减少。然而，这种下降是相当温和的，远不如以前的一些研究所声称的那样引人注目。因此，在这一时期，这种信息滞后仍然是跨国企业发展的主要制约因素。
Abstract There is extensive previous research on the early modern chartered multinational corporations, their development and how they dealt with the various challenges they faced. This article attempts to contribute to this field of research by estimating quantitatively the information lag in early modern multinational enterprise, studying the case of the British Royal African Company and its successor the Company of Merchants Trading to Africa. The results show that the transatlantic information lag decreased somewhat during the second half of the eighteenth century. The decrease was however quite modest, and far less striking than has been claimed in some previous research. During the period, this information lag therefore still posed a major constraint on the development of multinational enterprise.
