Abstract

The results of the regression estimates for the pooled sample of German and US subsidiaries are shown in Table 7.1. The results are presented in summative form. For ease of presentation, this summary table of the regression analyses reports only the signs of the coefficients and the significance level of the nationality variable. The value of the coefficients and the z-statistics are reported in Appendix Table A.3. The control variables used in the full regression models are identical to those in the performance study. With the main focus of the study being on the ER-performance aspects, the full regression models and the descriptive statistics have not been included in the Appendix, but are available from the authors on request. The descriptive statistics for the German subsidiaries are contained in Appendix Table A.1. Those descriptive statistics confirm proposition one (P1) that was put forward in Chapter 5. That proposition made explicit the expectation that a wide variety of voice mechanisms would be used to overcome such problems as asymmetric information in order to increase subsidiary performance. The ER dimensions and approaches have been treated as the dependent variables. Table 7.1 compares the incidence of ER dimensions and approaches among the two nationality groups.
