Introduction
Corkery & Finn a regional investment brokerage house has been extremely profitable but the company has decided to expand its operations and open overseas branches. At first the company starts to work in cooperation with other local brokerages and the company believes that within five years it will gain enough business and can be able to operate independently. This is why they set up a small office in London and Tokyo (Hodgetts & Luthans, 2002, p.407). The firm planned to send four people to each of these offices and recruiting the personnel from the local market.

-
Extrinsic reward: It means someone gives you something else as recognition for good work. It includes increased payment, praise, and promotion.
