Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Controlling and coordinating operations in different nations place heavy demands on information and control systems and on managerial skills and knowledge. The increasing complexity of foreign economies and firms make this task more challenging. While international OD practitioners may be hired to assist with this task, it ultimately requires strong managerial capabilities from within the organization. The number of companies offering products and services in multiple countries is not necessarily limited by these tasks.
