E. Ethnocentric orientation

Explanation:

In the ethnocentric orientation companies do not adapt the product to the other countries in which they have operations. These companies do the same they do in their home country in the other markets and this is a mentality that can result in an inability to see opportunities in other countries as managers are not willing to make changes that can target other markets in a better way.
