A

Answer to Question 2

Companies must learn about many different kinds of factors when they operate globally. First, there are problems related to understanding organizational behavior in different global settings. People in different countries have different values, attitudes, and aspirations. The values of the workforce also differ by country. Second, problems of coordinating the activities of an organization to match its environment become much more complex as an organization's activities expand across the globe. Decision making must be coordinated between those at home and those in countries abroad who are likely to have different views about what goals an organization should pursue. Third, in many cases global organizations locate in a particular country abroad because this allows them to operate more effectively, but doing so also has major effects on their home operations.
