• Political risk management is a basic area especially for multinational companies to study particularly these days. In the current global environment of high political risks and policy uncertainty, it is valuable to examine the evolution of political risk perceptions of multinationals and also the tools and techniques they use to skilfully manage such risks. It is an imperative for companies, countries, business professionals and politicians, to get together for discussion about future developments and about options for securing global solidarity to the good of people and business in existing normative frameworks. In this respect, Würzburg International Business Forum’s International Business Conference (24-25 May 2018) brought academics, professionals, business people and representatives of the public sector from the world together to analyse the current situation, trying to foresee future developments regarding political risk management within the framework of foreign direct investment and all other activities of multinational corporations.
