Financial Planning for the Multinational corporation with Multiple Goals

This paper presents a methodology for analyzing the financing problems raised by uncertain exchange rates and the various barriers to free capital flows. The stochastic goal programming model developed allows a way to improve the efficiency with which alternative combinations of corporate strategies, various environmental assumptions and financing mechanisms can be evaluated.
