Some Global Strategies
♦ International Strategy: uses exports and
licenses to penetrate the global area
♦ Multidomestic Strategy: uses
decentralized authority with substantial
autonomy at each business
♦ Global Strategy: Uses a high degree of
centralization, with headquarters
coordinating to seek standardization and
learning between plants
♦ Transnational Strategy: Exploits
economies of scale and learning, as well
as pressure for responsiveness, by
recognizing that core competencies reside
everywhere in the 2-65
