In decision making of international marketing, autonomy of the foreign subsidiary is very high. The reason for this factor is that all the decision making process of international marketing has to be made according to the condition of the host country.
However, multinationalized enterprises have decreased autonomy in subsidiary company. Furthermore, headquarter's control has shown to be stronger in matter that are related to products.
In decision making of budget, in international marketing, the degree of headquarter's control has been very high due to it's easiness to control budget than business operation.
In international marketing control, there are several difficult problems that include variety of international market, inability to regulate, incorrect data, philosophy of management, and consumer's difference in their preference. In order to overcome these obstacles, it is suggested to standardize operations of international marketing, control of foreign subsidiary by goal management.
These hindering factors should be overcome by standardization of international marketing operation. Especially, when the situation of the host country is different, the foreign subsidiary's operation can be secured sufficiently by standardization of program process to promote program instead of international marketing program standardization.
Control of foreign subsidiary by goal management is the plan of goal and business evaluation by participation. Foreign subsidiary can improve degree of standardization and effectiveness of administration through self control.
