Developing global themes: capabilities, employer branding and talent management

Janssens and Brett (1994) have noted that there have been three traditional and distinct approaches to managing and integrating global firms:

Centralization: where decision-making is left in the hands of a core group of executives Formalization/standardization: where decision-making is structured around a set of

rules and procedures Socialization: where decision-making follows a set of norms and values established in

the firm.
