Explanation of Solution
A foreign affiliate of multinational corporations has to face several risks, such as that associated with sales generation, which refers to generating revenue at par with its competitors in the domestic market. The other common risk faced by foreign affiliates is to maintain market share, which refers to capturing a share in the targeted market through various marketing campaigns. The financial risk of raising funds for its operations is also faced by such affiliates. These are some risks that are also faced by a domestic firm as well.
In addition to these common risks, certain specific risks, such as the political instability of a country and frequently-renewed foreign policies, are also faced by such affiliates. Also, foreign affiliates are exposed to the risk of unstable and highly-volatile foreign exchange risks.
