Session 389

Managing the Multinational Organization in an Increasingly Complex World

Track G

Date: Sunday, September 21, 2014
 

Time: 08:00 – 09:15

Interest Group Panel

Room: Glasgow

Co-Chairs:

  • Felipe Monteiro, INSEAD

Panelists:

Twenty-five years after the publication of Ghoshal and Bartlett’s “Managing Across Borders”, this panel will revisit fundamental questions related to the organization of multinational enterprises. We will debate about what sort of organizational designs enable multinational organizations to cope with the enormous differences in size and growth rates of the markets they operate in and how can the architecture of the organization accommodate significant local exceptions while maintaining global coherence and equity. Has the matrix organization reached its limits? If so, what’s next? How are multinational organizations exploiting new geographies as sources of innovation? How are they integrating new techniques, such as crowdsourcing and open innovation into their organizational fabric? After the “heterarchy”, the “transnational”, the “metanational”, is there a new model of the MNC emerging?
