Tapping a Foreign Subsidiarys Competence: An Empirical Test of Subsidiaries of Multinational Corporations in South Korea

This study examined the conditions under which a foreign subsidiary becomes the competence center within the multinational corporation (MNC)s network. We developed an integrated framework by investigating effects of both subsidiary-level factors and headquarter (HQ)-level factors on subsidiarys competence development. Survey data from 76 foreign subsidiaries of MNCs in South Korea largely supported our hypotheses. We found that subsidiaries with high management autonomy and high network embeddedness in the local market (South Korea) tend to build superior capabilities that would be useful throughout the entire MNC network. Concerning an MNCs management system, our results suggested that technological and managerial knowledge transfer from HQ to subsidiaries plays important roles in helping a subsidiary evolve into a competence center in the MNCs global network
