海外子公司经营自主权对企业绩效的影响

Effect of Overseas Subsidiary Autonomy on Performance

海外子公司经营自主权和子公司绩效的关系一直存在着争论。基于权变理论的视角,以跨国公司内部协调和环境动态性为调节变量,考察海外子公司经营自主权对子公司绩效的影响。研究发现海外子公司经营自主权对子公司绩效有显著的正向影响,而内部协调和环境动态性在经营自主权和子公司绩效的关系中发挥正向调节的作用。这些结果表明,母公司赋予海外子公司较高经营自主权时,应该充分考虑子公司所处的内外部环境,以保持经营自主权、内部协调和环境动态性之间的相互匹配。

Whether subsidiary autonomy improve subsidiary performance is still a subject to debate. Based on the contingency theory, the moderating effects of internal coordination and environment dynamism on subsidiary per- formance benefits of subsidiary autonomy is studied. Results show that subsidiary autonomy is positively associated with subsidiary performance. In addition, subsidiary autonomy has greater impact on performance when internal coordination or environment dynamism is high. These findings suggest that it is very important to keep the balance between subsidiary autonomy and internal coordination and environment dynamism, so that the subsidiary achieves superior performance.
