Document Summary
A: approaches to global staffing (page 113) Ethnocentric strategy: key decision making positions at both headquarters and in the foreign subsidiary are filled by pcns. Polycentric strategy: subsidiaries are more autonomous and key managers are usually hcns. Geocentric strategy: reflects a more global approach to staffing and is reflected in a mix of pcns, Hcns, and tcns both at headquarters and in subsidiaries, with a focus on the unique requirements of each situation. Regiocentric strategy, the staffing of the foreign subsidiary reflects the geographic strategy and structure of the mne. However, more recently other factors not related to the stage of internationalization have been shown to be more important to actual staffing patterns. These include the country of origin of the mne, the size and task complexity of the foreign affiliates, their performance and strategic importance for the mne, and the cultural and institutional distance of an affiliate from headquarters.
