A borderless organization eliminates country-specific locations and operates as a cohesive unit, regardless of physical location. This aligns with the suggestion in the scenario of maintaining the head office in Australia and sending over company representatives as necessary. It allows for more flexibility and efficiency in conducting business across borders. The other options, such as a multidomestic corporation or a multinational corporation, involve maintaining separate locations in different countries, which may not align with the company's goals in this scenario.
