Different roles for subsidiaries: The case of multinational corporations in spain
提出了一个框架来区分跨国公司在不同国家的子公司所扮演的战略角色，并通过对50家西班牙子公司的样本分析，发现它们正朝着与母公司更紧密整合的方向演变，这一变化可能与西班牙加入欧共体有关。
Abstract A framework is proposed to characterize the different roles that subsidiaries of multinational corporations (MNCs) can play within the firm's overall strategy. The framework is then applied to a sample of 50 Spanish subsidiaries of MNCs. These are found to be pursuing strategies consistent with the framework. At the same time, a strategic evolution is detected towards a closer integration of the subsidiaries with their parent group. It is hypothesized that changes in the Spanish sociopolitical context, especially the country's entry into the European Economic Community, are fueling that process of strategic change.
