This research comprises of a detailed study of two MNC’s a. Halliburton b. OGDC
In the first half of the research the emphasis is on Halliburton, USA and Halliburton, China. After discussing the environmental factors, ethics and social responsibility and cultural dimensions of Halliburton USA and China, their similarities have been discussed.
Similarly in the second half of the research the emphasis is on OGDC, Western Africa and OGDC, Brazil. And then their similarities have been discussed.
After studying both MNC’s, in the last part of the research there is a comparison of both the MNC’s and as per my understanding I have pointed out the similarities and differences in both MNC’s.
All the assumptions are based on the culture of the home and host countries of the respective organization and on the fact that the culture of the home country is dominant culture of the organization in any host country. And that the employees of an organization make up its culture so their culture will also help in identifying the organizational culture and management practices of the Organization.
I have not directly discussed the management practice and styles in both organization, I have discussed the environmental factors, ethics and social responsibility and cultural dimensions of the MNC’s which will reflect in their managerial practices.
