CORRECT TEXT
Fill in the blank with the appropriate approach.
A______________ approach fills corporate positions in the home country with expatriates, whereas management positions in the host country are filled by HCNs.

  1. polycentric

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A polycentric approach fills corporate positions in the home country with expatriates, whereas management positions in the host country are filled by HCNs. This approach can have a positive impact by showing a commitment to the host country and generating goodwill for the business, but it doesn't afford upward mobility for top managers in the host country. The business benefits, because it's less expensive to hire local employees"even at top dollar"than it is to fill international positions with expatriates. However, it can also limit communication between business units in the different locations and result in animosity between the home and host country business units because of differences in cultural practices and compensation levels between countries.
