ORGANIZATIONAL ARCHETYPES OF A MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANY
Abstract
The purpose of this paper has been to lay out a taxonomy of four archetypes and cut through the welter of confusing opinion as to how the headquarters of a multinational company should relate to its subsidiaries. Each archetype is developed to the point of suggesting guidelines for formulating OR problems. This does not mean to imply that a real company will fit neatly into one archetype or another. Though it is difficult to think of one company which is a pure example of any of the archetypes, Clee and Sachtjen give close examples.
