Relationships Between Foreign Subsidiaries: Competition and Cooperation in Multinational Plant Engineering Companies (2011)Paperback - 2011, 5 September 2011

Julia Maurer offers the first comprehensive conceptual and empirical approach to the relationships between foreign subsidiaries. She develops a novel framework for the analysis of intersubsidiary relationships and applies it to the large-scale plant engineering industry. The empirical study confirms that an MNC`s strategic orientation has a considerable impact on its intersubsidiary relationships.
