Abstract: | The way that multinational businesses in integrated global industries coordinate and control R&D, manufacturing and marketing functions across borders has significant implications for performance. The authors propose that, in such global industries, certain integrating modes will be more effective than others in integrating a function globally. It is shown that each function has a different combination of effective integrating modes. |
