Computers’ practices is characterized by flexibility, decentralization, and
nationalization. Through decentralized leadership, localized talent management, and cross-cultural work, MNCs
can manage the challenging global workforce challenges they confront. This
kind of adaptation not only preserves the organization’s adaptability but also
makes a positive contribution to long-term competitive advantage in the global
