14 Selecting an International Corporate-Level Strategy The type of corporate strategy selected will have an impact on the selection and implementation of the business-level strategies.

18 Global Strategy Global strategy Products are standardized across national markets. Business-level strategic decisions are centralized in the home office. Strategic business units (SBU) are assumed to be interdependent. Emphasizes economies of scale. Often lacks responsiveness to local markets. Requires resource sharing and coordination across borders (hard to manage) Thomson/South-Western. All rights reserved. 8 18

Difficult to achieve because of simultaneous requirements: Strong central control and coordination to achieve efficiency Decentralization to achieve local market responsiveness Firm must pursue organizational learning to achieve competitive advantage Thomson/South-Western. All rights reserved. 8 19
