| Tiivistelmä: | This paper investigates the relationship between the nationality of the multinational corporations (MNCs) headquarters and its information management, namely the key performance metrics utilized by the parent to evaluate subsidiary performance. The authors also examine the relationship between the MNC nationality and its management of managers, specifically, the transfer of parent company nationals and corporate acculturation. Data from study of MNC subsidiaries located in Australia, Ireland and Singapore suggest that MNCs of all nationalities place the geatest emphasis on financial metrics compared to other performance metrics. Moreover, there are differences in the degree of emphasis on performance metrics across MNC nationality. It is shown that Japanese and German MNCs place notably less emphasis on financial measures than US and UK MNCs. Whereas some researchers have argued that management control has become more isomorphic as a result of globalization, these results show that companies from different nationalities diverge in their practices. |
