Haha, option A? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. You can't just slap headquarters policies on a polycentric organization and expect it to work.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Wouldn't a polycentric approach require more localized policies rather than consistent global ones? Option D seems more fitting.

Option C seems like the most logical choice here. An organization with a polycentric staffing approach would need to balance global consistency with local considerations.
