| Abstract: | The globalisation of firms is explored at theoretical and empirical levels. The idea is that a global firm is a multi-cultural team. The existence of a global firm is somewhat puzzling. Combining workers who have different cultures, legal systems, and languages imposes costs om the firm that would nor be present were all workers to conform to one standard. The search for the "best practice" is analysed and empirical support is provided. |
