How MNE subsidiaries handle conflicts between internal and external networks

How MNE subsidiaries handle conflicts between internal and external networks
MNE subsidiaries can leverage resources from internal and external networks. However, they often struggle with conflicting requirements from internal and external networks. We still have very limited knowledge regarding how subsidiaries can handle the conflicts. Through an in-depth case study of an MNE subsidiary, I found that the subsidiary handled three types of conflicts; the subsidiary adopted three type- specific mechanisms and two non-type-specific mechanisms; and these mechanisms were used for two different processes. This study reveals a sophisticated way of handling the conflicts by MNE subsidiaries while maintaining the relationships with internal and external network members.

Abstract

MNE subsidiaries can leverage resources from internal and external networks. However, they often struggle with conflicting requirements from internal and external networks. We still have very limited knowledge regarding how subsidiaries can handle the conflicts. Through an in-depth case study of an MNE subsidiary, I found that the subsidiary handled three types of conflicts; the subsidiary adopted three type- specific mechanisms and two non-type-specific mechanisms; and these mechanisms were used for two different processes. This study reveals a sophisticated way of handling the conflicts by MNE subsidiaries while maintaining the relationships with internal and external network members.
