Answer to Question 2

F
IBM has changed its orientation from polycentric to geocentric recently, when it went through a massive reorganization. Under the old system, a corporate customer with operations in several countries had to contract with small IBM offices in each country, and each IBM office had its own regulations; the reorganization placed IBM's employees into 14 customer-focused groups, such as financial services, entertainment, and oil and gas, to be able to work with a central sales office.
