Answer to Question 1

Intense competition causes a need for quick decisions. A decentralized organization would allow for the most immediate reaction. Countries characterized by an unstable political environment or countries where government policies are unstable also require organizational structure that allow them to react quickly. Companies operating in countries that are similar to their home country are likely to use similar strategies. These companies would opt for an organization that would integrate operations between the home and host countries. Common regional traits and availability of local labor also affect organizational structure. Companies can organize their operations with a regional focus in countries that share a language, religion, or other cultural similarities. Companies operating in countries that have an educated and qualified labor force will delegate more control to local operations and would have organizational structures that allow for more local control.
