Answer to Question 1

Firms engaging different strategies build different organizations. Firms engaging international, multidomestic, global, or transnational strategies tailor their structure, systems, and cultures to their respective demands. Sophisticated international strategies require improving collaboration, sharing, and engagement across an organization. The boundaries of vertically and horizontally differentiated structures, by hampering these activities, constrain performance. The intrinsic boundaries of classical structures impede knowledge flows and interrupt coordination. Resolving those rests upon removing the boundaries between vertical ranks and roles, between horizontal units in different functions, products, and areas, and between the firm and its suppliers, distributors, joint-venture partners, strategic allies, and customers.

Answer to Question 2

D
