influenced by the decisions that have been undertaken by the concerned organization refer to the
various contextual factors that are related to the matters that pertain to the structure of the
organization, the various environmental forces that have been affecting the overall performance
of the organization. The business organization might also be impacted due to the various risks
that need to be looked into while making the decisions in the given organizational context. The
various practices within the organization as well as the business at large might also be affected
by the decisions that have been undertaken by the management of the concerned organization.

Hoenen and Kostova (2015) in the article entitled “Utilizing the broader agency
perspective for studying headquarters–subsidiary relations in multinational companies” tends to
deal with a section of the conditions that are associated with the structure within an organization.
The authors argue that the structure of the organizations in the recent times play a huge role in
the matters that influence the various decisions that are undertaken by the concerned
management within the given organization. The structure of the organization refers to the
hierarchy that is maintained within the organization as well as the spread of the organization all
over the global market. The concerned article deals with the relationship that is shared among the
headquarters of the concerned organization and the various subsidiaries of the same organization
that might have been spread all over the global market. The authors tend to argue that the
management must look into the various matters that pertain to the relationship that exists among
the subsidiary locations and the headquarters of the organization. The article attempts to help the
concerned managerial staff of the organization to deal with the various matters that pertain to the
miscommunication among the various members of the organization. The managerial staff of the
organization might be advised to look into the matters that might be affected by the decision-
making of the concerned management of the organization.
