Explain the differences between geocentric, ethnocentric, polycentric, and regiocentric staffing policies.

After reading and viewing the background materials, (especially the Armstrong and Taylor chapter), address the following questions in 10-12 PowerPoint slides (not counting the cover slide and reference list slide). Be brief in words on the slides and insert everything you would say in the Comments/Notes section under the slides, not on the actual viewable slides. [Plan the presentation for an audience of adults working on an HRM undergraduate degree.]
Bring in at least two valid and reliable outside readings found in peer-reviewed journal articles in the Trident Online Library to support your response to each question. List the sources used at the end of your slide presentation; but cite your sources on the notes pages of the appropriate slides.
