Innovative risk management in strategic enterprise governance and multinational technical support teams

Oleksandr Kyssa, Viktoriia Bokovets, Alla Kraevska

Multinational technical support operations navigate rising complexity at the intersection of digitalisation, cross-cultural coordination, and evolving risk dynamics. The aim of the research was to synthesise existing knowledge on integrating innovative risk management practices into strategic business models, with focused attention on multinational technical support operations, cultural intelligence, and digital capabilities. A systematic literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 from Scopus and Web of Science databases, complemented by foundational theoretical works and industry reports from the Business Continuity Institute, Gartner, NSSG Global, and the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Thematic synthesis and meta-aggregation techniques were applied to reveal convergent patterns across heterogeneous sources. The analysis demonstrated that operations integrating digital risk management into mature governance structures achieve enhanced organisational resilience. Cultural intelligence emerged as a moderating factor of risk management effectiveness in heterogeneous contexts, with empirical evidence from the included studies indicating that culturally intelligent leadership produces measurable improvements in team engagement, reporting positive correlations with organisational performance and engagement outcomes reaching up to 35%. It was established that unified data platforms and key risk indicators substantially improve anticipatory capacity and coordinated response across geographically dispersed operations. An integrative conceptual framework was developed combining three capability domains, namely structural governance, intercultural competence, and technological infrastructure, demonstrating their synergistic contribution to organisational resilience in complex operational environments. Practical value of the work lies in equipping risk management professionals and leaders of multinational technical support operations with a coherent framework for simultaneous development of governance, cultural, and digital capabilities rather than sequential investment in isolated domains
