and learning from parent companies and other subsidiaries
in multinational firms is possible, despite the negative
aspects of discipline evident in benchmarking techniques.
Cultural heritage & industrial relations
Combination of global and local responsiveness
Good Parent-subsidiary relationship
High cost (High incentives)
Evaluation of Discussion
Credibility
our arguments and evidence may lack wide application, they can serve as a reference point for 'rich'
comparison and contrast, in a way that more conventional methods of undertaking research cannot.
Reliability
Validity of Data
During the interview stage by re-presenting what respondents had
said for their verification
Future Implications
Research can become more beneficial if quantitative and qualitative tools
are used in combination to each other to make the results more valid and
reliable.
To minimize the cultural, behavioral, attitudinal and psychological
differences the company should form certain divisions (on the basis of
similarities under the mentioned variables) that help broaden the researchs
horizons and also will help make the research more generalization: This can
serve beneficial for companies to standardize their practices.
This research can serve as a purpose of comparison and contrast for future
researchers.
