Geopolitical instability is a major concern among global executives and investors. Geopolitical tensions are affecting global business operations, performance and culture more than at any time since the Cold War, and are widely perceived as the greatest threat to global growth.
In this fast-evolving geopolitical landscape executives need to be ready and waiting to address some of the toughest challenges of globalization. Companies need to be able to navigate the myriad storms looming on the horizon as well as build resilience into their way of doing business. This will help them mitigate political risks and identify opportunities when entering into or expanding within international markets.
Below is a collection of sources compiled by the IESE Library that will help you hone your understanding of the current geopolitical reality as well as identify looming threats and challenges before they arrive.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
