I was speaking a couple of days ago with a friend, quite a successful Romanian entrepreneur who manages a yearly seven figure net profit through several companies he simultaneously manages. We were trying to recall some common acquaintances that worked in his company lately.

We reached discussing some person who was previously employed in a multinational and failed to adapt to a rather more complex job (having to handle more responsibilities) in a Romanian owned company. And he mentioned that it is the case for many people who do not adapt after working in multinationals.

First I was struck by the fact that I did not immediately object to this argument. It seemed pretty obvious to me that way.

Later on I was asking myself who was first: the chicken or the egg. Is it likely that people with capabilities of managing complexity choose to go to companies owned by Romanian entrepreneurs while others go to multinationals? Or maybe that the multinationals’ systems are simplifying too much the employee roles and responsibilities until they become rather robots?

If I have to listen to people vision of many multinationals on the Romanian market, it is rather unlikely to happen the second.

If I am to compare benefits of working in the two kinds of corporation I also find unlikely that first would be the rule.

Anybody here with me in the fog?
