    First from a management prospective, there is not a unity of effort across the four regions as far as the hiring process is concerned. There are three unique main lines of effort between the four locations. The managers of these regions should be given a certain amount of freedom to lead their divisions, guidance and standards should be provided from the corporate management of the organization (Inman, C., & Muller, C. 1996). This will help the organization adjust to a changing technology while providing custom appeal to potential employees from each region. This will help develop an employment brand message with the public and encourage overall appeal to the company.…

    What is Coca-Cola’s staffing policy for managerial position: ethnocentric, polycentric, or geocentric? Does this policy make sense? I believe Coca-Cola’s staffing policy for managerial positioning is primarily polycentric; however, I also believe it involves many characteristics of both ethnocentric and geocentric staffing policies as well. According to Dowling, et al, a polycentric staffing approach involves the multinational enterprise treating each subsidiary as a distinct national entity with some decision-making autonomy. This is evident in Coca-Cola’s “think globally, act locally” strategy, in which they strive to staff their operations with local personnel. Coca-Cola’s belief that local people are generally better equipped to do business in their home locations than foreign employees aligns with an overall polycentric staffing policy. However, Coca-Cola’s decision to employee expatriates for a specific need or position of high demand or trust (start of Eastern-European operations, for example) reflects certain characteristics of ethnocentric policy, such as the reliance on staff from home country. Geocentric staffing policy also applies to Coca-Cola in the way the corporation strives to instill a common philosophy in all its employees that reflects the values of the entire corporation on a global scale. This policy makes sense for Coca-Cola because the corporation relies on local managers’ familiarity and understanding with local consumer base and employees, while also providing their managers with a level of global experience through their 500 manager global service program.…
