Discuss the different ways political events in a host country may affect local operations of an MNC.
Answer: The answer can be organized based on the three types of political risk: that are, transfer risk, operational risk, and control risk. Transfer risk takes place from the uncertainty about cross-border flows of payments, capital, and know-how and so on. Operational risk takes place from the uncertainty about the host country’s policies influencing the local operations of MNCs. Control risk takes place from the uncertainty about the host country’s policy as regards to the ownership and control of local operations of MNCs.
