Introduction
Once an organization decides to go international, it must begin to implement the decision.
Some companies do so by shipping their goods to a foreign market and having a third party handle sales activities.
If the firm’s international market continues to grow, the enterprise will need to review this strategy and decide whether to play a more active role in the distribution and sale of its products. As this happens, the company’s organizing strategy will change.
Major MNEs such as IBM, GM and Mitsubishi have sophisticated global structures that form the basis of their organizing strategies. Sometimes these firms will also have subsidiaries or affiliates that are integrated into the overall structure.

Early organizational strategies
When a company first begins international operations, it is typical for these activities to be extensions of domestic operations Primary focus continues to be the local market
As international operations increase, however, the MNE will take steps to address this growth structurally For instance, by having a marketing or export department
handle international sales or by using an overseas subsidiary

The international division
The international division structure centralizes all the international operations
Advantages: It reduces the CEO’s burden of direct
operation of overseas subsidiaries and domestic operations
It raises the status of overseas operations to that of the domestic divisions

Global organizational structures
As MNEs generate more and more revenues from their overseas operations, their strategies and the structures used to implement these strategies become more global in focus.
There are six basic types of global structures:

Transnational network Combines elements of functional, product, and
geographic designs, while relying on a network arrangement to link the various worldwide subsidiaries.
At the center of the transnational network structure are nodes, which are units charged with coordinating product, functional, and geographic information.
Different product group units and geographical area units have different structures depending on what is best for their particular operations.

OHT 1.24OHT 9.24
Effective organizations begin by formulating a strategy and only then design a structure that will efficiently implement this plan.
In determining the best structure, three questions must be answered: Can the company operate efficiently with domestic
divisions or are international divisions also necessary? On what basis should the organization be structured:
product, area, function, mixed, or matrix? How can the necessary coordination and cooperation be
most effectively achieved?
![Page 25: OHT 1.1OHT 9.1 Chapter 9 Organizing Strategy. OHT 1.2OHT 9.2 Organizing Strategy Objectives Introduction Organizational structures Strategic management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93f38/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
OHT 1.25OHT 9.25
These answers are usually determined through a careful analysis of five key variables: The relative importance of international operations at the
present time and what the projected situation might be within three to five years
The firm’s past history and experience in the international arena
The company’s business and product strategy The management’s philosophy of operating The firm’s ability to adjust to organizational changes

Organizational processes
The structure is designed to answer the question: What is to be done? The organizational processes – decision making, communicating, and controlling – help to make the structure work efficiently
Decision making: The process of choosing from among alternatives
Communication: The process of transferring meanings from sender to receiver
Controlling: The process of determining that everything goes according to plan
