Abstract: Abstract Chapter 3 focuses on the knowledge-based determinants of the MNC’s strategic configuration. As shown in the literature review in Chapter 2, research on knowledge transfers within MNCs is marked by several streams of theory, such as ties and the network perspective, the subsidiary perspective, coordination and control issues, capabilities and context and the transferability of knowledge. Having identified these, the following sections will shed some light on the origins and the importance of these topics and show why they need to be integrated into a comprehensive model of intra-MNC knowledge transfer.
