Ethnocentric thinkers tend to believe that they can export the managers and practices of their home countries to anywhere in the world and that they will be more capable and reliable..
Polycentric
managers take the view that native managers in the foreign offices best understand native personnel and practices, and so the home office should leave them alone. Thus, the attitude of polycentric managers is nearly the opposite of that of ethnocentric managers..
GEOCENTRIC MANAGER
managers accept that there are differences and similarities between home and foreign personnel and practices and that they should use whatever techniques are most effective.
