Critical Discussion Questions

  1. "The choice of strategy for a multinational firm to pursue must depend on a comparison of the benefits of that strategy (in terms of value creation) with the costs of implementing it (as defined by organizational requirements necessary for implementation). On this basis, it may be logical for some firms to pursue a multidomestic strategy, others a global or international strategy, and still others a transnational strategy." Is this statement correct?

  2. Discuss this statement: "An understanding of the causes and consequences of performance ambiguity is central to the issue of organizational design in multinational firms."

  3. Describe the organizational solutions a transnational firm might adopt to reduce the costs of control.

  4. What actions must a firm take to establish a viable organizationwide management network?
