What are the aspects of doing business across national borders that complicate managers’ jobs? Use the PLOC or the strategic management process to give examples of why international management is different from domestic management. Give an example of a company that is successful at cross-border management. Global businesses face quite a several challenges and managers in charge have a big responsibility of ensuring that the business becomes successful. The complexity involved often makes the manager’s job very difficult. Various aspects affect cross-national border business that needs to be addressed to successfully manage an international organization.
