      Golik (1950) depicts the concept of dominance effects as “disruptors of equilibrium in the central nervous system” that aid the nervous system to renew itself with high levels of energy. The dominance effects in the phases of parabiosis erupt the “rhythmic activity and speed”, yet “plays an essential role in the process of forming novel reactions to the environment”. For instance, every living system holds the capacity to work and to function at its adequate rate including humans; furthermore, the benefit of dominance effects is that the brain is triggered to work at its full capacity and at its innermost creative ability. 

          Other instances of how the concepts of dominance effects are useful is when a human faces a challenging task in which the “PL (physiological liability) reserves during the domination of left and right hemisphere as determined by eye dominance”; moreover, our eyes can shift dominance/focus and blur out our vision to a “dominance free” state which allows us to concentrate on one task at a time. A further view is presented in a study of two subjects who have the same profession and age where the scientific researchers use colored lights to attract their eyes’ attention. When the intensity of the light is raised and in color red, the excitatory light impulses attract the right-eye (left-hemisphere dominance), yet “calming green impulses” stir the left-eye’s attention (Pavlova, 2015). 

          Dominance helps us to behave and to respond a certain way whenever there are obstacles, spontaneous events, alarming news, and to know how to cope with challenging situations. Our nervous system learns and can adapt to work at its highest potential when necessary and to maintain order when troubles arise.

How useful is the concept of dominance' effects?

Discussion

 

The dominance effect is very effective in the workplace. The dominance effect is

 

associated with the market approach. It is similar to the market approach because this deals with

 

the transfer of practices to help create a thriving economy in that particular country. A strong

 

performance in one country will help with higher interest among other countries in borrowing

 

different policies that a particular business may use (Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 97).

 

Smith and Meiskins argue that the hierarchy of economies within the international system help

 

give a rise of the dominance effect at any particular time, they argue that the more dominant

 

countries have evolved production and labor more than the less dominant countries (Reiche,

 

Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 97). The dominance effect is not just created by the legacy but by the

 

competitive pressure at the international level (Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 97). The

 

dominance effect does receive a couple of criticisms. The first criticism is that the approach

 

believes that there are significant differences in rates of economic growth between the

 

countries (Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 97). The second criticism is that even though they

 

may be differences only a part of the differences can be explained between organizations

 

Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 97). The last criticism is that a national business is

 

characterized by a set of structures and practices that is created by other firms (Reiche, Harzing

 

& Tenzer,2019, p. 98). The dominance effect is excellent despite the criticisms it does create a

 

utility and togetherness within the countries. The dominance effect is of great importance in

 

how managers manage the international workforces. This method helps create a change and

 

diffusion in the transfer process between countries (Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 98).

 

The HR department shows solid signs of following the dominance model.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, the dominance effect is the most critical influence out of the other key

 

influences. The dominance effect help push firms to achieve international integration within the

 

countries (Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 105). The dominance effect as well as the other

 

influences help create significance to the institutional and cultural aspects of national business

 

for the process of transfer (Reiche, Harzing & Tenzer,2019, p. 105). For example the U.S is seen

 

as being dominant countries compared to countries like Puerto Rico. I have family members

 

who was born in Puerto Rico who moved to the U.S, and they remind me all the time that

 

there are opportunities in the U.S versus creating a life in Puerto Rico. This ties

 

into the dominant effect because it deals with the practices that are created in the more

 

successful economies.
