For one, the cost of doing business internationally has increased, for global firms and host countries alike. For another, shifting geopolitical conditions in the developing world have become more crucial than ever to grasp if the world's multinationals — whether of American, British, European, or Japanese origin — are to take the best advantage of new market opportunities. These market opportunities are well within the experience range and grasp of the multinational consumer product and industrial firms as well as service enterprises.
