The contemporary business landscape presents multinational enterprises (MNEs) with unprecedented challenges in aligning revenue streams with shareholder value protection mechanisms across diverse regulatory environments and market conditions. This research develops a comprehensive conceptual model that addresses the critical intersection between revenue optimization strategies and shareholder value preservation in the context of global business operations. The study examines how MNEs can effectively balance short-term revenue generation with long-term value creation while maintaining compliance with varying international regulatory frameworks and stakeholder expectations. The proposed conceptual model integrates multiple theoretical frameworks including stakeholder theory, agency theory, and resource-based view to establish a holistic approach to revenue-shareholder value alignment. Through extensive literature review and theoretical synthesis, this research identifies key components that influence the relationship between revenue strategies and shareholder protection mechanisms. The model encompasses six critical dimensions: strategic revenue diversification, risk management integration, regulatory compliance alignment, stakeholder engagement optimization, performance measurement systems, and value creation sustainability. The research reveals that successful revenue alignment with shareholder value protection requires a dynamic and adaptive framework that can respond to changing market conditions, regulatory environments, and stakeholder expectations. The study demonstrates that MNEs achieving optimal alignment between revenue generation and shareholder value protection typically employ integrated governance structures that facilitate cross-functional collaboration and enable real-time decision-making processes. Furthermore, the findings indicate that companies with robust revenue-shareholder alignment frameworks demonstrate superior financial performance, enhanced stakeholder satisfaction, and improved long-term sustainability outcomes. The conceptual model provides practical implications for MNE executives, board members, and policy makers by offering a structured approach to evaluating and enhancing revenue-shareholder value alignment strategies. The framework enables organizations to identify potential misalignments, assess risk exposures, and implement corrective measures that strengthen both revenue performance and shareholder protection mechanisms. Additionally, the model facilitates comparative analysis across different industry sectors and geographic markets, enabling MNEs to benchmark their performance against industry standards and identify opportunities for improvement. The study concludes that effective revenue alignment with shareholder value protection represents a critical success factor for MNEs operating in today's complex global environment. The proposed model offers a comprehensive framework that addresses the multifaceted nature of this challenge while providing practical guidance for implementation. Future research opportunities include empirical validation of the model across different industry sectors and geographic regions, as well as investigation of emerging technologies' impact on revenue-shareholder value alignment dynamics.
