| Abstract: | In complex, interdependent corporate structures, there is overlap and sharing of responsibilities between the operating units and the corporate parent. As result, the distinction btw. business and parent is blurred and a focus on the role and added-value of the parent is less obviously relevant. This article explores the nature of corporate parenting in complex structures and draws out the particular demands placed on parent managers in these structures. It also examines the role of the parent's functional support staff and the complications resulting from having more than one level of parenting. It concludes that there are some special parenting challenges in complex structures. |
