Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Firms that prioritize adapting to local culture and practices will generally choose to staff their international facilities with host-country nationals. This facilitates communication, reduces cultural barriers, and increases understanding of local customs and business practices. Hiring parent-country or third-country nationals may lead to cultural misunderstandings and communication barriers. Fourth-country nationals are not typically used in international staffing.
