Hiring local expertise will provide Saturn Inc. with employees who have a better understanding of the local language, signs, and symbols. They can also bring with them knowledge of the local culture and customs, which can be useful for the business to operate smoothly. Hiring American managers or home country managers may not be as effective as they may not have the same level of understanding of the local language and culture, while hiring expatriate managers may be more costly and may not have the same level of commitment to the company as local employees. A centralized HR system may not directly address the problem of language diversity and cultural differences. Hence, hiring local expertise would be the best choice.
