| Abstract: | This study examines the several forms of institutional and agency effects that are found within multinational enterprises (MNE) by using systematic comparative case studies of two big MNE in the chemical industry. The affiliation of subsidiaries is also identified with a specific MNE coordination structure. It is found that the heterogeneity of institutional settings per se is not enough to promote active agency. |
