Chapter 1 in Hybridization of MNE Subsidiaries, 2009, pp 3-7 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Multinational enterprises (MNEs) setting up production sites abroad face the ongoing challenge of how to configure their subsidiaries’ production systems. This organizational challenge involves the questions: Whether MNEs should define and transfer whole production templates or only apply a limited range of policies? What kinds of adaptations are possible and required to match the transferred templates with local or host context conditions? And which templates and practices may not be transferable at all but either have to be drawn from or customized to the local or host contexts? Based on these organizational challenges for MNEs, this study tries to understand how and why subsidiary production systems differ with regard to their contextual origin or constitution, that is, their hybridization profile.
