Instructions:

Research an multinational organization you are interested that isn’t based in the United States.  Discuss the organizational structure of the organization as it relates to Chapter 8 of our textbook.  Make sure you explain how the organization benefits from it’s organizational structure, specifically as it relates to the type of products and/or services it provides.  Also, address how you feel the structure influences the organization’s international management practices.  Lastly, how has technology helped improve the performance of the organization considering the organizational structure the organization has chosen.  Remember, there may not be an exact match as it relates to the organizational structures in chapter 8 but do your best to find the closest match and point out any parts of the structure that aren’t exactly the same as the structure you feel closely matches the organization.
