本研究调查了政治环境对尼日利亚跨国公司经营绩效的影响。为了达到这一目的，对现有文献进行了回顾，并提出了假设。本研究的人口包括尼日利亚的上市制造公司。我们确定了大约27家这样的公司，必要的数据来自2012年尼日利亚证券交易所概况手册和世界银行集团的世界发展指标。政治环境被衡量为政治稳定程度和没有暴力，而商业表现被衡量为公司1999-2013年期间的盈利能力。我们的研究结果表明，政治环境对尼日利亚跨国公司的经营绩效有显著的负向影响。基于上述，我们建议尼日利亚政府应避免频繁改变政府政策和计划，并确保民主机构的稳定和政治一体化。这些都是必要的，以使政治局势稳定，并摆脱暴力的商业增长和发展。关键词：政治环境，经营绩效，跨国公司。
This study investigated the impact of political environment on business performance of multinational companies in Nigeria. To achieve this purpose, a review of extant literature was made which was supported by hypothesis. The population of this study consists of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. About twenty-seven (27) of such companies were identified and the necessary data were sourced from the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book of 2012 and the World Development Indicators of World Bank Group. Political environment was measured as the degree of political stability and absence of violence while business performance was measured by the profitability of the companies for the period 1999-2013. Our findings showed that political environment has a negative significant impact on business performance of multinational companies in Nigeria. Based on the above, we suggest that the Nigerian government should avoid frequent changes in government policies and programmes, and ensure stability of democratic institutions and political integration. These are necessary to make the political terrain stable and out of violence for business growth and development. Key words: Political environment, business performance, multinational companies.
