Fill in the blank with the appropriate qualitative analysis technique.
The_______________ group technique is a structured meeting format designed to elicit participation from all members of the group in order to arrive at the best possible solution to the problem at hand.

  1. nominal

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The nominal group technique is a structured meeting format designed to elicit participation from all members of the group in order to arrive at the best possible solution to the problem at hand. The process requires a facilitator and begins with a period of time for individuals to think about and write down all their ideas about the issue. After that, each participant presents one idea, which is recorded by the facilitator for later discussion. When all the ideas have been presented, the process of prioritizing and consensus building takes place until a resolution has been agreed on.

CORRECT TEXT
Fill in the blank with the appropriate approach.
A______________ approach fills corporate positions in the home country with expatriates, whereas management positions in the host country are filled by HCNs.

  1. polycentric

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A polycentric approach fills corporate positions in the home country with expatriates, whereas management positions in the host country are filled by HCNs. This approach can have a positive impact by showing a commitment to the host country and generating goodwill for the business, but it doesn't afford upward mobility for top managers in the host country. The business benefits, because it's less expensive to hire local employees"even at top dollar"than it is to fill international positions with expatriates. However, it can also limit communication between business units in the different locations and result in animosity between the home and host country business units because of differences in cultural practices and compensation levels between countries.
