Abstract

This article presents an 80-year historical study of the evolution of a multinational company's manufacturing network. The study is based on business transactions and semi-structured interviews with managers. Company milestones and evolutionary stages emerged from the analysis and two evolutionary characteristics were identified; capability exploration and capability exploitation denoting how the company increased its corporate knowledge and deployed it corporate wide. The output includes a new taxonomy of company transformation that describes how subsidiaries of modern multinationals influence corporate growth.
