reply to: An ethnocentric staffing policy involves bringing managers from the domestic country to subsidiaries (Drachal, 2014). While this method can be positive for the host country by increasing the flow of "know-how," it also presents an opportunity for cultural exchange. However, it has many drawbacks (Drachal, 2014). This method can incur significant costs due to having to provide compensation for work in another country and the risk of domestic customs being imposed on the foreign market (Drachal, 2014). A polycentric staffing policy involves hiring locals to fill positions in the host country. It assumes that the domestic country headquarters should not strictly control managers' actions in different countries and allows for some freedom in actions (Drachal, 2014). It allows branches in different countries to carry out their own policies, which can lead to excessive chaos and a lack of coordination between branches (Drachal, 2014)
