We also tested the model and proposed propositions by a sample evaluation method, specifically with 1 000 copies of questionnaires given out to managers or directors of MNEs’ subsidiaries in China Mainland and resulting in 151 sets of valid answers. The empirical study supports that national differences between the parent country and the host country and the strategies employed by MNEs do have impact on the subsidiary staffing, and MNE headquarters should make different staffing plans according to the difference of nations and strategies. We welcome testing our model by peer researchers in other country.展开更多

The method, which is evolved from the first order derivative test for optimality of the Lagrangian function with respect to the primary variables of the problem, decomposes the solution process into two independent ones, in which the primary variables are solved for independently, and then the secondary variables, which are the Lagrange multipliers, are solved for, afterward. This is an innovation that leads to solving independently two simpler systems of equations involving the primary variables only, on one hand, and the secondary ones on the other. Solutions obtained for small sized problems (as preliminary test of the method) demonstrate that the new method is generally effective in producing the required solutions.展开更多

First of all, we built an S-SWOT theoretical framework for MNC Chinese subsidiary strategy analysis. Then, we conducted an empirical analysis of MNC Chinese subsidiary strategies at different periods of time based on the two questionnaire-based surveys undertaken in 2001 and 2005 and a field interview made with such subsidiary executives in 2006. Our study found that MNC Chinese subsidiary overall strategies and functional strategies significantly changed from 2001 to 2006. In particular, MNC Chinese subsidiaries: became increasingly wholly foreign owned and profit oriented; boosted M&A and alliance activities; localized research and development; paid more attention to intangible assets (brand and image) management; coordinated the extent of localization and integration; and assigned key positions to local personnel. We also noticed both a strategic convergence and a considerable strategic difference between the Chinese subsidiaries of MNCs from different countries during the evolution of their Chinese subsidiary strategies.展开更多

A host country＇s societal and cultural factors, combined with local economic conditions and business practices, play major roles in determining the preferred business ethics and social responsibility in each foreign subsidiary. An MNC＇s global HQ should partner with all foreign subsidiaries to determine the global corporate business ethics, social responsibility core, general values, and objectives. Further, each foreign subsidiary should develop in partnership with the HQ, the customized details of its business ethics, social responsibility objectives, goals, strategies, and specific programs for its host country＇s environment.展开更多
