Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dropping organizational structure based on countries and reorganizing into industry groups demonstrates a move towards a borderless organization, where there are fewer barriers and less emphasis on national boundaries. The organization is not necessarily becoming ethnocentric (favoring the home country) or polycentric (decentralized with different practices in different regions). It may or may not be a global company (with operations in multiple countries) depending on how the industry groups are structured.
