Abstract

The recent literature has witnessed an increasing interest in analysing a subsidiary within multinational corporations (MNCs) as a node within a network of interorganisational relationships (Ghoshal and Bartlett, 1990; Nohria and Eccles, 1992). This concern is motivated by the emergence of MNCs that wish to reconsider their conceptions of headquarters—subsidiaries relationships (Barham, 1992; Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1993; Borrus et al., 1990; Hedlund and Ridderstrale, 1992; Maljers, 1992); the consequent changing role of subsidiaries within the MNC (Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1986; Ghoshal and Nohria, 1989) and increasing interdependencies between them (Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1993; Herbert, 1984; Prahalad and Doz, 1987).
