  1. Answer:
    a. Ethnocentric framework: Ethnocentrism is the belief that the values, practices, and behaviors of one's home country are intrinsically superior to those of other nations. An executive with an ethnocentric mindset believes that successful business practices at home need not change when transferred to foreign markets. Instead, he assumes that if his business design has already proven successful at home, then it will work anywhere in the world.
    b. Polycentric mindset: A polycentric outlook accepts the importance of adapting to differences, real or imaginary, between the home and host country. A polycentric manager champions the ways of foreign markets as comparable, if not more enlightened, than the practices of his or her parent company and home nation.
    c. Geocentric mindset: Unlike the ethnocentric and polycentric mindset, the geocentric mindset is not tied to a particular home or host nation. It looks for the best people for key jobs throughout the organization, regardless of their nationality.

  2. Anser 2:

    Ethnocentric:
    Evaluating other peoples and cultures according to the standards of home country culture.

    Polycentric:
    Hire managerial positions from the host country because locals of the host country know their culture better and can run the business more efficiently as compared to their foreign counterparts.

    Geocentric:
    Took the best people from the organization discrimination is not on nationality but selection is based on skills and expertise.
