Resumo(s)
Much theory and research that seeks to explain why and how technology
transfers occur within multinational enterprises (MNEs) actually addresses the
question of how these transfers occur among cooperative subsidiaries, and
relies on the assumption of inter-subsidiary cooperation. However, subsidiaries
do not always cooperate. We suggest that the success of technology transfer
among subsidiaries depends on the extent to which the relationships among
an MNE's subsidiaries (i.e. inter-subsidiary) are competitive or cooperative.
Inter-subsidiary cooperation is determined by the MNE's international strategy,
organizational structure, and the social relationships among subsidiaries. Both
hierarchical and social relational factors drive the potential for inter-subsidiary
multimarket competition that originates from the overlap on the subsidiaries'
products, technologies, and market portfolios.
