Organizational Cultures in MNC | International Management | From A Business Professor

A multinational corporation, or MNC, is an international corporation whose business activities are spread among at least two countries. To better analyze and understand the organizational cultures of MNCs, Fons Trompenaars, a Dutch organizational theorist, suggested the use of two continua. One distinguishes between equity and hierarchy; the other examines orientation to the person and the task. Along these continua, Trompenaars identifies four different types of organizational cultures: family, Eiffel Tower, guided missile, and incubator.
