Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Governance is top-down in an ethnocentric orientation as decision-making and control are centralized in the head office of the organization's home country, with subsidiary offices in other countries being managed and controlled from the home office. In a polycentric orientation, decision-making and control are decentralized, with management practices adapting to suit local contexts. Geocentric orientation seeks to create a global perspective, where the best talent is located irrespective of the origin of the employee or the location of operations, and regiocentric orientation is focused on regional decision-making, with management practices tailored to suit the specific region.
