摘要：　　Globalization is a major trend in today’s world economic development, profoundly impacting the operational environment of multinational corporations (MNCs). As the economies, cultures, and technologies of various countries become interconnected, the roles of MNCs in the global market have become increasingly significant and complex. Globalization offers MNCs a wide range of market opportunities, enabling them to enter different countries, expand into new markets, and access resources, capital, and technologies worldwide. This global expansion compels MNCs to enhance their competitiveness through the establishment of international supply chains, global marketing strategies, and diversified business models.
　　However, globalization also presents numerous challenges. Firstly, MNCs must navigate a complex international political and economic landscape, including changes in trade policies, rising tariff barriers, and the impact of geopolitical tensions on global operations. Additionally, legal, regulatory, and cultural differences across countries introduce greater uncertainty in operations. For instance, cross-cultural management, global talent mobility, and compliance with diverse regulatory requirements become critical issues that MNCs must address in the globalization process. Furthermore, as competition intensifies due to globalization, MNCs must continuously innovate to respond to increasingly complex market demands and the disruptions caused by the global technological revolution. Therefore, how to achieve strategic transformation and management optimization in the globalization context becomes a core issue for the sustainable development of MNCs.
　　The main objective of this paper is to investigate how MNCs can respond to the increasingly complex global market environment through strategic transformation and management optimization in the context of globalization. As globalization accelerates, MNCs face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. To better adapt to market changes and maintain competitive advantages, MNCs need to adjust their strategies and optimize management structures. This paper aims to explore the multifaceted impact of globalization on MNC operations, analyze the successful experiences of MNCs in strategic transformation and management optimization, and propose improvement plans for enterprise management applicable to the global environment.
　　To achieve these research objectives, this paper employs various research methods. Firstly, through an extensive literature review, it summarizes the main theories and practical advancements related to MNC operations in the globalization context and constructs an analytical framework by integrating relevant research from different fields. Secondly, using case analysis, the paper examines several representative MNCs, analyzing their specific practices and successful experiences in strategic transformation and management optimization. Additionally, this research incorporates quantitative analysis by utilizing financial and operational data from MNCs to compare the effectiveness of different management models, leading to data supported conclusions.
　　In a globalized environment, the success of MNCs relies on flexible strategic transformation and efficient management optimization. Firstly, MNCs need to promptly adjust their strategic positioning based on changes in the global market environment, particularly in technological innovation, market positioning, and business models. Secondly, management optimization is indispensable in global competition. By enhancing organizational agility, strengthening cross-cultural management, and optimizing global supply chains, MNCs can better respond to the uncertainties and complexities of the global market. This paper proposes several management optimization suggestions to help MNCs achieve sustainable long-term development in the context of globalization.
