Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
When a firm has international operations it should choose the most appropriate structure based on the following factors:
- extent of international expansion: into how many international regions do we plan to expand our activities.
- the type of strategy: the have to choose between global, multidomestic or international strategy
- the degree of product diversity: on how many additional markets will our products compete? regionally or globally
Although 1 and 3 may be similar, there can be significant differences. For example, a US company may want to start selling their products in all of South America (regional product diversity), but it will do it by setting a South American office in Brazil only (international expansion is limited to Brazil only).
