Explanation / Answer

If we break the statement into 3 parts, the first part "High political risk requires companies to seek a quick payback on their investments" would definitely be based on the type of business that we are looking at, say if we are looking at oil business then it would not be the case, but if we take any other company or any other business, it would be that the political climate would be one of the major driving force for the company's behavior. Say if we are looking at high political risk countries such as middle east and Syria in specifc then the main goal of the company would be to get maximum returns in the least possible time and leave the place.

If we go to the next part of the statemement, "Striving for a quick payback, however, expose firms to charges of exploitations", it depends how we look at it, but as a general statement it depends on how fast the company wants its payback and what are the options available, say for example, we are looking at a company located in Africa trying to have a short payback period, it would definitely not want to invest in automation or asset building which would reduce the manpower count, something that it counterintitive but true. Therefore the company would not build assets and improve productivity which is again something against the country and comes under exploitation.

And finally the third part of the statement, "results in the increase of political risk". This statement is something that is completely related to the size of the company, if it is a company of a small size then there would not be much effect, but if it is a large company or a cluster of small companies, then it would definitely have an effect on the political risk and infact this will form a basis for political rivalry and the tension among different parties and stakeholders such as people and the company managements apart from the ones in power.
