The article discusses key issues in international business strategy from a workers' perspective and relates these to existing frameworks for understanding decision-making in multinational corporations (MNCs). It begins by identifying key decisions in international business, discussing their interrelationships, and highlighting key empirical trends. Academic research in international business strategy can, it is pointed out, helpfully inform worker representatives and trade unions in the context of their work within MNCs in Europe. The article goes on to review existing frameworks for understanding how MNCs make decisions about the major strategic issues. Its focus is on five types of approaches: the resource-based perspective on the firm; transaction-cost economics; institutionalism; the network approach; and the actor-centred perspectives. It is argued that research on MNC strategies, insofar as it is aimed at informing trade unions and worker representatives and at evaluating the impact of their activities, should be based on frameworks that bring together these disparate paradigms.

The concept of decision making has acquired a new dimension in the modern world of business. It is interpreted in various ways. Some consider it as an instrument of strategy, with tools and methods to implement the company's targets. Others regard it as a shift toward a more culture-centric or culture-oriented management. But it is mostly a method of adaptation to the new realities of the market - a market that has multiple forms and numerous cultural characteristics. Decision-making is also about the adoption of new skills in order to understand the evolution of the market. Thus, decision makers adopt their organization's philosophy, and apply the appropriate policies to solve issues. There are many different criteria that should be taken into consideration when defining the term ''decision-making'', including culture, which is one of the main factors having a significant influence given the current business environment. The objective of this study is to cast the light on this process through the prism of multinational organizations. The concept evolves in different spheres and business activities. Our methodology consists of a qualitative study on two multinationals; Transmed and PWC, the results of which reveal that culture has a positive influence in the process of decision-making.
