Question

question 41
although setting up international divisions requires significant resources and planning, once the office is up and running, the company _
retains complete control
relies on a local company to handle all daily operations
operates under a licensing agreement that limits control
can bypass any local political climate

Explanation:

When a company sets up its own international division (not a licensing - based or relying on a local company for daily operations), it has the structure in place to manage and retain control over its operations. A local company handling daily operations would mean less control (eliminating the second option). A licensing agreement (third option) typically limits control as it's a different business model. Bypassing local political climate (fourth option) is not a general outcome of having an international division as local laws and politics still apply.

Answer:

retains complete control
