Wait, so they're closing offices, but the key personnel aren't worried? Sounds like HR-speak to me. I'm gonna go with C. International, and hope I don't get 'redeployed' anytime soon.

This is a tricky one. The company is acting globally, but the decision seems centralized. I'm torn between A and D. Maybe I'll go with D, just for the heck of it.

Hah, they're closing offices and 'redeploying' people? Sounds like someone's trying to put a positive spin on layoffs. Anyway, I'm going with C. International.

I'm not so sure. The fact that they're closing offices in different regions makes me think it's more of a multinational approach. B looks like the best option.

Hmm, I think the answer is D. Transnational. The company has offices worldwide, but it's downsizing, which suggests a more integrated global strategy.
