Managing Political Risk in International Business

Every organisation of every size and type must operation in accordance with strict legal requirements and regulations. At some level therefore, every business is fundamentally controlled by politicians and governments.  Managing political risk in international business and domestic business activities should therefore be prioritised. Political risk is classified as any risk faced by an organisation related to political decisions, events or unrest. Political risk is largely beyond the control of most organisations, hence the importance of considering and planning for every eventuality. In addition, a business rarely has any say in the laws it must obey and the regulations it must follow. Legal and political risk management can help ensure an organisation operates safely, legally and with long-term stability.
