Multinational corporations (MNCs) face significant challenges in a dynamic global business environment. In times of economic hardship and increased competition, innovativeness and the demonstration of key abilities are essential to the success and resilience of MNCs.

Furthermore, Jacobs provides valuable insights into the differences in consumer cognition and behavior caused by critical country-level boundary conditions.
