Answer 1

41) Option D is incorrect as it means that when business is done in many countries and there are many MNCs who provide goods and services to international markets.

Option A is incorrect since industrialization means that moving from agricultural perspective to manufacturing related economy growth, second option is also incorrect because it means when boundaries are crossed for business and localization refers to conducting business within geographical boundaries.

42) Virtual team is the correct answer as they are working together to achieve an objective but are located at different places. Rest of the options are incorrect since localization strategy means that planning to sell in the local market only, group think means a brain storming sort of session with experts and the same goes for advising group where experts share their opinion and advise the best way forward.

43) Top down is the correct answer as the change has to flow from the top to lower levels so that it can termed as successful.

44) A is correct that employees should be ready to take on and accept the change, rest of the options are incorrect since momentum should not be cancelled, resistance should not be accepted as it would defeat the implementation of change.
