| Tiivistelmä: | This paper empirically explores the relationship btw. the external business network of a country business unit (CBU) of a multinational firm, its performance, and the unique institutional characteristics of the foreign market. Hypotheses are developed about the CBU network structure linked with operating margin given different levels of institutional development, and the categories of network contacts associated with CBU operating margin. The hypotheses are tested using social network analysis in over 50 CBUs in two different business segments within one multinational company. It is shown that the CBU network structure associated with higher operating margin depended partially on the level of the country's institutional development. The network composition is strongly related to CBU operating margin. |
