Answer to Question 2
There are a number of advantages to using locals to staff international subsidiaries. Using locals may lower labor costs, demonstrate trust in local citizenry, increase acceptance of the company by the local community, maximize the number of options available in the local environment, lead to recognition of the company as a legitimate participant in the local economy, and effectively represents local considerations and constraints in the decision-making process. However, using locals may make it difficult to balance local demand and global priorities, lead to postponement of difficult local decisions until they are unavoidable, may make it difficult to recruit qualified personnel, and may reduce the amount of control exercised by headquarters.
