1. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can have three different
approaches to Global Talent Management. Critically evaluate the
advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Explain how they
can co-exist in the same MNE and provide examples.

of MNE strategy from Prahalad and Doz’s (1987) model is
associated with Perlmutter’s (1969) model.
4. Explain the five modes of global integration and local
responsiveness in MNEs’ human resource management function.
Illustrate your answer with examples.
