Abstract

Strategic Risk Management (SRM) plays a vital role in ensuring the stability and growth of global businesses in today’s dynamic and uncertain environment. Multinational organizations face a variety of challenges, including financial fluctuations, geopolitical tensions, technological disruptions, and regulatory changes. SRM is a proactive approach that integrates risk identification, assessment, and mitigation with the strategic objectives of a business. By aligning risk management with corporate strategy, organizations can make informed decisions, protect their assets, and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. This paper examines the principles and frameworks of SRM, emphasizing the importance of understanding both internal and external risks. It also explores how leading global companies implement risk management practices through governance systems, risk assessment tools, and proactive monitoring. The study highlights the challenges that businesses face in implementing SRM, such as managing complex international operations and adapting to rapidly changing market conditions. Finally, recommendations are provided to strengthen strategic risk management practices, including fostering a risk-aware culture, integrating enterprise-wide risk systems, and ensuring alignment with overall business strategy.
