In a stable year, Q3 is a time MNCs use to adjust strategic plans and finalize budgets for 2012. However, 2011 is not a stable year. Volatility in the global economy has generated significant uncertainty in all planning processes. GDP growth projections for 2012 in Argentina range from 1.2% to 6.5%. For Russia, executives are making decisions based on GDP forecasts that range from -8% to 5.4%. These figures are critical to budget allocation, target setting, and strategic planning for 2012, and will continue to fluctuate in the coming weeks and months.
It will be increasingly difficult for MNCs such as Apple (Nasdaq: APPL) and General Electric (NYSE: GE) that have large exposures to volatile markets to manage through various scenarios.
