Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kagemusha's staffing policy is ethnocentric, which means that the company places emphasis on the values, beliefs, and practices of its home country and relies on Japanese managers to oversee operations in foreign countries. This approach assumes that practices and behaviors that are successful in the home country will also be effective in other countries.
