Thank you for sharing this insightful example of the polycentric model with Alpha Computers! I completely agree that balancing global standards with local adaptation is key to effective global HRM. The way Alpha empowers employees as “Full Life Cycle Leaders” really highlights the importance of autonomy and trust in driving engagement across diverse cultures.
I also appreciate the emphasis on equal training for both global and local managers—it shows how investing in leadership development consistently can unify a multinational workforce while honoring local differences.
I wonder, though, how companies like Alpha handle potential conflicts between global policies and local customs when they arise. Do you think there’s ever a tipping point where too much localization could dilute core corporate values?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
