| Abstract: | A key issue that dominates international research, is addressed in this article: the global-local question. The question concerns how multinationals can or should balance the pressures to develop globallly standardized policies with the pressures to be responsive to the peculiarities of the local context. In the authors' view, three important conceptual weaknesses have restricted research progress is the field: 1) the inadequate conceptualization of national effects, which results in culture being used as an unsatisfactory "catch-call" for national differences, 2) the lack of attention to the influence of international politics and 3) the absence of focus on the internal division of labour within MNCs. |
