GI - LR Matrix
Global Integration - Local Responsiveness
Driven by four factors:
-Market Drivers
-Cost Drivers
-Governmental Drivers
-Competitive Drivers
Vertical Axis is Integration
Horizontal Axis is LR
Top L: Global-Strong links btwn HQ and subsidiaries.
Top R: Transnational-Strong links between HQ and subsidiaries and amoung subsidiaries.
Bottom L: International-Weak links between HQ and dependent subsidiaries.
Bottom R: Multidomestic-Weak links between HQ and autonomous subsidiaries.
Extent to which underlying operations such as IT, Finance, or HR integrate across locations.
