What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach in understanding national differences? 3) Using the example of either a) performance management, or b) equality/diversity, critically discuss the factors influencing the way MNCs transfer international ‘best practice’ from ‘home’ to ‘host’ countries. 4) Compare and contrast the roles of a) ‘corporate social responsibility’ and b) trade union organisation in improving labour standards in multinational corporations and their suppliers and/or contractors. Use examples where appropriate.
