| Abstract: | The authors of this paper seek to examine the importance of environmental factors in determining MNE subsidiary roles. In particular, the authors examine the environmental factors associated with integration schemes such as the EU. The empirical analysis is based on a large-scale survey of foreign-owned units in Denmark, Finland and Norway. The data show that subsidiaries in Norway report significantly lower scores for both scope and activities and levels of competence. The findings indicate that being on the 'outside' of the EU may indeed carry the price of becoming less attractive to MNE activity. |
