Transfer of Managers as a Coordination and Control Strategy in Multinational Organizations
Abstract
Ju ne 1 977, volume 22 The purpose of this paper is to present an argument and some hypotheses to stimulate further research. It is hypothesized that the transfer of managers is used by some multinational organizations to develop a process of control based on socialization. Transfer of managers for socialization is distinguished from transfer of personnel to fill positions in developing countries and for management development. Transfer for socialization is hypothesized to socialize managers and create international, verbal information networks, which combined, permit greater decentralization than the impersonal bureaucratic strategy. Finally, it is suggested that the control processes are not alternatives but cumulative stages of development; one control strategy is added to, not substituted for, previous ones.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
