The paper identifies the main risks faced by Siemens, including technological, market, financial and legal risks, and summarizes the company's targeted risk management measures. Finally, the study concludes with key findings on Siemens' sustainable growth-driven strategies, notes research limitations related to time constraints and data timeliness, and proposes future research directions regarding adaptive adjustments to its business model amid technological and market changes.
