Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice for this lower-level position would be a native of the target market who has completed a one-year internship at Hudson Foods. This candidate would have both familiarity with the new market and its customs, traditions, and language, as well as an understanding of Hudson Food's organizational culture and business traditions. A local fresher with strong government contacts may have some knowledge of the market, but may not be familiar with Hudson Food's culture and traditions. An existing Hudson Foods employee from the United States may not have the necessary knowledge of the new market and its customs. An individual from the U.S. who has experience in the frozen food industry may have relevant experience, but may lack knowledge of the new market and its traditions.
