RUBRIC 2
explain about the approaches in managing and staffing subsidiaries. This can be refer in Chpter
1.1.7: approaches to international HRM. Those approaches are
a.
Ethnocentric
Few foreign subsidiaries do not have any autonomy; strategic decisions are made at
headquarters. Key positions at the domestic and foreign operations are held by management
personnel of headquarters. These subsidiaries are managed by expatriates from the home
country (parent country national).
b.
Polycentric
The MNC treats each subsidiary as a distinct national entity with some decision-making
autonomy. Subsidiaries are usually managed by local nationals (host country nationals) who
are seldom promoted to positions at headquarters. Parent country nationals are rarely
transferred to foreign subsidiary operations.
c.
Geocentric
The MNC takes a worldwide approach to its operations, recognising that each part
(subsidiaries and headquarters) makes a unique contribution with its unique competence. It
Regiocentric
It reflects the geographic strategy and structure of the multinational. It utilises a wider pool
of managers but in a limited way. Personnel may move outside their countries but only
within the particular geographic region. The regional managers may not be promoted to
headquarter positions but enjoys a degree of regional autonomy in decision-making.

RUBRIC 4
It is about the discussion on the approaches used by your selected company (in rubric 1) in
managing subsidiaries.
For example, ethnocentric. How the comapny use ethnocentric in managing their subsidiaries.
for example, all decison about the company are made at headquarters. Key positions at the
domestic and foreign operations are held by management personnel of headquarters. These
subsidiaries are managed by expatriates from the home country (parent country national).
RUBRIC 5
discuss about the issues faced by MNCs when managing their subsidiaries based on points in
rubric 3. For example, you can foolw the moduel's example by relate it with the chosen company.
A broader, more international perspective on expatriate benefits would endorse the view that all
expatriate employees regardless of nationality should receive a foreign service or expatriate
premium when working in a foreign location. Yet some multinationals which routinely pay such
premiums to their parent country national employees on international assignment (even if the
assignments are to desirable locations) are reluctant to pay premiums to foreign nationals
assigned to the home country of firm. Firms following such a policy often use the term inpatriate
to describe foreign nationals assigned to the home country of the firm. Such a policy confirms
the common perception of many host country national and third country national employees that
parent country national employees are given preferential treatment.
