Are Emerging-Market Multinationals Creating The Global Operating Models Of The Future?

For Multinational Enterprises (MNEs), the rise of the multi-polar world creates an additional layer of complexity that makes global operating model configurations and organizational capabilities more important than ever. A recent Accenture survey shows that 95 percent of senior executives say that they doubt their companies have the right operating model to support their international strategy. Consequently, they are seeking to strengthen their organizational capabilities to achieve better performance. Accenture defines a global operating model as the set of organizational capabilities that allow multinational managers to coordinate the relationships between the multinational's headquarters and the geographic business units to effectively support the company's international strategy.
