Global Competitive Pressures and Host Country Demands Managing Tensions in MNCs

Abstract

Much has been written about the growing complexity of strategic demands facing multinational corporations. The authors examine conflicts implicit in the recent development of several such demands, and look at some of their administrative and organizational implications. In illustrating the administrative adaptations made by several companies, the authors highlight the need for change on a broader basis than the continual reorganizations resorted to by many MNCs.
