| Tiivistelmä: | This study sets out that multinational corporations (MNC) subsidiaries (here as: subs.) located in economically highly developed countries (as: ctrs.) will transfer more knowledge to other corporate units than will subs. in less developed ctrs. The direct effect of subs. location (as: loc.) and the interaction effects of loc. and social capital are tested. The analysis is based on a sample of 164 MNC subs. in Finland and China. It is found that subs. located in Finland tend to engage more actively in outward knowledge transfer than do their peer units in China. It is concluded that this negative 'country-of-origin' effect increases the need for promoting trust and shared vision among individuals and units in the MNC. |
