Q8) Case Study:
Two Senior executives of world's largest firms with extensive holdings outside
the home country speak. Company "We are a multinational firm. We
distribute our products in about 100 countries. We manufacture in over 17
countries and do research and development in three countries. We look at all new
investment projects both domestic and overseas using exactly the same criteria".
The execution from company A continues, "of course the most of the key ports
in our subsidiaries are held by home country nationals. Whenever replacements
for these men are sought, it is the practice, if not the policy, to look next to you at
the lead office and pick some one (usually a home country national) you know
and trust".
Company "We are multinational firm. Our product division executives have
Worldwide profit responsibility. As our organizational chart shows, the united
states is just one region on a par with Europe, Latin America, Africa etc, in each
division".
The executive from Company B goes on to explain, "the Worldwide Product
division Concept is rather difficult to implement. The senior executives incharge
of this divisions have little overseas experience. They have been promoted from
domestic ports and tend to view foreign Consumers needs as really basically the
same as ours. Also, product division executives tend to focus on domestic market
because it generates more revenue than foreign market. The rewards are for
global performance, but strategy is to focus on domestic. Most of the senior
executives simply do not understand what happens over seas and really do not
trust foreign executives even those in key Portions?
Question:
