2. Challenges and Best Practices
E- Activity:

Next, use the Internet to research the organizational culture of one (1) multinational company (MNC) that conducts business within the selected country. Be prepared to discuss.
• Debate the major challenges (e.g., legal requirements, cheaper manpower, global talent, human resource practices, etc.) that MNCs face when developing performance management processes within countries outside of the United States.
