This book expands the business network view on managerial issues in
multinational corporations. Specifically, it scrutinises the
importance of a subsidiary's external and internal business network
for its strategic and organizational role within the corporation.
The internationalisation of firms in terms of management issues and
headquarters control, the influence of subsidiaries on decisions
and learning processes within multinational corporations are
examined in detail. It is argued that to understand these issues,
it is necessary to analyse the context of the multinational
corporation in terms of the subsidiaries' external and internal
business networks. The authors also explore the extent to which
subsidiaries are embedded in close relationships with other
business partners and the ability of headquarters to retain control
if their subsidiaries are given the opportunity to influence
decisions concerning strategic investments. The theoretical
elements of the book are underpinned by illustrative cases from an
extensive database of 20 multinational corporations. Grounding its
analyses and conclusions on unique and extensive data on specific
business relationships at the subsidiary level in multinational
corporations, this book will be invaluable to students, researchers
and lecturers focusing on management and international business.
