| Tiivistelmä: | This paper analyses the issue of variation btw. multinational companies (MNCs) in the extent to which they use their foreign operating units as the origin of employment practices subsequently transferred across the firm. Data from a nationally representative survey of U.K. MNCs is used. The relative influences of three sets of factors on diffusion are contrasted. It is shown that while the nationality of the parent firm and the way in which the multinational is configured have only modest effects on diffusion, the organizational ways through which the diffusion of practices can occur are central to explaining variation btw. companies. |
