Challenges and Countermeasures for Multinational Corporations' Overseas Layout From the Geopolitical Perspective

Abstract

The study focuses on geopolitics and strategic reflexes in the external architecture of international bodies. It sees geopolitics not as an exogenous shock that occurs once in a blue moon but as a structural condition affecting place choice, entry mode, supply-chain structure, technology deployment, compliance and stakeholder interactions. The research builds upon political risk theory, institutional analysis, the regionalisation literature and current work on deglobalisation and domestic digital institutions. It explores the complexity of international expansion created by sanctions, investment screening, regulatory difference, security-driven technological restrictions and home political unpredictability. It believes that a correct answer cannot be simply diversity or geographical separation. Rather, firms need a multi-layered approach that includes regional portfolio design, political skills, operational resilience, ethical corporate conduct and governance integration.” It is a conceptual research based on literature. There are no new facts given. No individual firms are evaluated and there is no implication that any particular strategy will reduce any risk. The study reveals that sustainable foreign architecture will be more sustainable when the knowledge of geopolitics is included in the regular strategic and operational decisions.
