Between Headquarters and Subsidiaries: The RHQ Solution

Hellmut Schütte

Chapter 5 in Multinational Corporate Evolution and Subsidiary Development, 1998, pp 102-137 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The multinational corporation (MNC) as a phenomenon of recent times differs from simpler organisations by ‘the combined consequences of multidimensionality and heterogeneity’ (Doz and Prahalad, 1991). Multidimensionality in this context is the result of multiple geographical markets, multiple product lines and multifunctional activities. Heterogeneity comes from the different economic and political characteristics that make an impact on the various countries, businesses and tasks in varied ways.
