Businesses operating in numerous states face different and frequently shifting regimes of environmental regulation. This regulatory turbulence raises the question of what environmental strategies multinational enterprises using a portfolio of divergent regulatory regimes should spread out in relation to their international business growth strategies.
Forward-looking multinationals seeking to develop an effective environmental strategy should incorporate international marketplace interdependence and comparative regulatory stringency. There are four environmental strategies that identify the factors that drive tactical changes, and which match different regulatory/market settings for multinationals from both developed and emerging markets. The article presents a "regulatory turbulence tool" that describes relevant regulatory/market configurations and prescribes contingently effective, dynamic environmental strategies.
