A multinational corporation is a company that operates in multiple countries, has a diverse management team, and generates a significant portion of its revenue from foreign markets. This description fits the company where Sarah works, given that it has sales from Europe, non-American managers, and employees in different countries. A joint venture involves two or more companies creating a new business entity, which is not the case here. A bossless corporation and a transglobal corporation are not common business terms, and ethnocentric companies have a strong orientation toward their home country's culture, which is not necessarily the case for the company where Sarah works.
