1. First, we must remember that HR for multinational companies must adapt to local cultures. An international company cannot deploy its strategy to any country without making a benchmark of the customers' lifestyle, the work culture and so on. The SHR has to adapt continuously.

2. In this case study, the "Alpha's policy" is very interesting. It is described as giving empowerment to employees so they can improve their leadership and make important decisions. With this policy, the employees will look less at money rewards and more at the sense of achievement. 

3. Finally, the HR strategy for a multinational company is the balance between the headquarters' control and the freedom of the subsidiaries. With too much control and a rigid strategy, the subsidiaries will not make efficient choices because they are too afraid to take risks and will just follow the strategy from the headquarters.
