In preparing to write this section, you will have to do your $$homework$$ to evaluate what managers of the MNE need to be aware of in terms of the integration of regional and global economic systems $($for example, there is increasingly more resistance to globalisation and the takeover of local organisations by foreign MNE$$s being blocked by governments$).$ Secondly, do the managers of the MNE need to engage in political discussions and the likelihood of these discussions shaping the future business environment of the MNE?
