American companies are matching Volvo's efforts in reverse, working the premise that the global composition of their shareholders should resemble the international distribution in their sales. General Motors, for instance, with just 5 percent of its stock held internationally but new production facilities under construction in Argentina, Brazil, China, Poland, and Thailand, launched a campaign in 1996 to bolster it shareholding abroad to match its expanding foreign sales.
