Abstract: | The study examines the effect of two categories of sources of technology on subsidiary performance. The sources can be related to internal MNE sources or local environment sources. It is expected that the technology sourcing that is linked to the local context has a positive influence on subsidiary performance. The study was made interviewing 88 subsidiaries located in Greece. The results were derived through the use of ordered probit analysis. The findings reveal that the internal MNE technology sourcing has a positive impact on subsidiary performance. Contrary the proposed expectation the technology sourcing linked to the local context (Greek) has a negative influence on subsidiary performance. |
