, A Report On Standard Bank Group As A Multinational Enterprise (MNE)
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report will discuss the Multinational Enterprises (MNE’s) as well as the formal and
informal institutions and the frameworks that govern them. A multinational firm or MNE is
an enterprise that engages in foreign direct investment and owns and controls value adding
activities in more than one country (Peng & Meyer 2019).
It typically has multiple facilities across the globe, derives a substantial portion of revenues
from foreign operations, manages subsidiaries with a common strategic vision and resource
pool and often places foreign nationals or expatriates in key management posts.” (Erwee,
2017: 176).
The following report will continue to assess the pivotal role of both formal and informal
institutions in determining the success or failure of a Multinational Enterprise (MNE),
particularly within the African context. The primary objective of this report is to identify and
evaluate the factors that influence the MNE's operational outcomes.
In the global business landscape, a company's achievements or setbacks are significantly
influenced by its adeptness in navigating various regulatory environments and societal
norms. Essentially, the manner in which a company engages with these frameworks dictates
its competitive edge and sustainability. Consequently, firms must maintain vigilance in
comprehending, interpreting, and adapting to the evolving regulatory and social landscapes
to thrive amidst diverse market conditions.
The institution-based perspective has emerged as a dominant framework for understanding
international business dynamics. Within this framework, formal institutions encompassing
political, legal, and economic systems play a central role in shaping the operational
environment for MNEs. In contrast, informal institutions, such as cultural norms and ethical
standards, exert considerable influence on organizational behavior and strategic decision-
making.
In this analysis, the focus will primarily be on formal institutions, delving into the
complexities of political, legal, and economic systems within the African context.
Additionally, an upcoming section will explore the significance of informal institutions
through a dedicated article review.
