The International Management Attributes
Transitioning from local to multinational operations come with multiple challenges to business managers that demand insightful inputs to succeed. When a business organisation extends its activities to multiple regions across the world, it is poised to face stiffer competition from other successful multinational organisations. The challenge does not end with the fight for market share; an organisation must also re-strategise to attract more human and material resources. At a multinational platform, managers understand that their products do not manifest a similar appeal as they showcase back in the home nation. Put simply, operations in the multinational platform come with the need to re-strategise and reorganise the organisation to match the needs of the operational environment stakeholders.

Mars has also instilled a hierarchical structure in which the communication channels are streamlined and can only foster a specific direction. While Mars may have succeeded in other nations, it must adopt the right international management attributes if it is to succeed in Poland, a nation whose citizens have shown extensive disagreements with how the management of Mars conducts its activities.
International Management Attributes
The International management attributes to successful organisations are those characteristics that business managers consider as pillars to the success of their entities. The management attributes at the international level differ depending on factors such as the needs of the targeted customers, technologies used in operations, and the scope of competitiveness (Barker, 2017). However, from Mars’ case, a business organisation must manifest other insightful attributes to stay successful in int...
