Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Felix wants to maintain close control of the Nicaragua store for at least three years suggests that they may want to use parent-country nationals to manage the store. Parent-country nationals would be more familiar with Felix's policies, procedures, and culture, and would likely be more effective in ensuring that the new store is aligned with Felix's overall strategy. Additionally, using parent-country nationals would allow Felix to maintain control over the new store and ensure that it maintains consistent standards with other Felix locations.
