| Abstract: | This article suggests a new model of the multinational firm, the Global Multi-business Firm (GMBF), with strategic focuses on resource gathering and organizational vitality. The demands of technology, the globalization of customers, and competitive development don't permit the casual local pursuit of either markets or capabilities, but require the GMBF to offer a new perspective. The headquarters have a new role of providing a global approach to strategic management. At the same time, the headquarters can't hold strictly to its units, so that they don't become trapped in "managing for the last struggle". This is summarized as "command without control". |
