Is populism bad for business?

In the introduction to the special issue on populism in the Journal of International Business Policy, the special issue editors outline the main challenges that multinational firms face when politics is increasingly influenced by populism. MNEs’ risk management and investment decisions have to incorporate deteriorating institutions as well as direct challenges from populists. The papers in the special issue address components of these challenges, but more research in international business and beyond will be needed in order to develop comprehensive strategies tackling the influence populism has on business.
