Question recap: True or False: KFC China's parent group would not allow KFC to localise their strategy but allowed hiring of local senior managers.
Option 1: True. This would assert two things at once: (a) the parent would prohibit local strategy localization, and (b) the parent would permit hiring local senior managers. In practice, large multinational fast-food brands operating in China typically localize both strategy and leadership to better fit local tastes, regulations, and competitive dynamics. Prohibiting strategy localization would likely hinder responsiveness to local market conditions, making this option suspicious. Hence, this option is problematic because it makes an absolute claim about centralized control over strategy that clashes with common corporate practice in foreign markets.
Option 2: False. This option denies the blanket claim that local strategy localization is prohibited while local senior management hiring is allowed. The more nuanced and realistic view is that multinational firms often both localize strategy (menus, marketing, pricing, partnerships) and empower local leadership to execute and adapt to the local environment. Therefore, the statement in the prompt is not consistent with typical organizational behavior in cross-border franchises, where both localization of strategy and local senior management are common to achieve market success. 
Why this option is reasonable: it aligns with the understanding that global brands balance global consistency with local adaptation, so assuming strict prohibition of strategy localization while permitting local leadership would be an unusual and counterproductive governance stance. 
Why the other interpretation (the True option) is flawed: it hinges on an unlikely rigid separation—preventing local strategic adaptation while still enabling local top-down leadership—without evidence that such a compensatory local leadership policy exists. This mixes a potential upside of local insight with a potential downside of strategic misalignment, making it an odd policy mix. 
In summary, the claim that the parent would not allow local strategy localization but would allow local senior managers is not consistent with typical multinational practice, making the statement false.

True or False: KFC China's parent group would not allow KFC to localise their strategy but allowed hiring of local senior managers.
