中文摘要

子公司外部網絡對於子公司能力與發展有其重要性,因此本研究提出子公司的外部網絡會受到母子公司間的關係以及本身在當地鑲嵌程度的影響。本研究主要的論述觀點是以子公司角度出發,樣本以外資企業在台投資的子公司共118間為研究對象。實證結果發現當子公司感受到資源無法從內部獲得時,則子公司在地主國技術鑲嵌的程度就會越高。此外,本研究亦發現技術鑲嵌應分為與顧客的技術鑲嵌以及與供應商的技術鑲嵌。若母公司採用多國本土導向策略時。則有助於子公司與其顧客發展高度技術鑲嵌行為;而供應商與顧客關係之下的技術鑲嵌皆有助於提高期望績效;然僅有與供應商的技術鑲嵌才能夠正向提升子公司的重要性。此外,從與供應商合作而來的績效成就亦隱含著未來將會間接成為子公司重要性提升的關鍵因素。

英文摘要

The paper explores the importance of foreign subsidiary's technical embeddedness network as a strategic resource for subsidiary performance and its importance for MNE competence development in multinational enterprise (MNE). The conceptual model is made up of five constructs, including multidomestic intention, resource gap, technical embeddedness, expected market performance and subsidiary importance for MNE. We see the subsidiary technical embeddedness as (1) the enhancement of capabilities in the subsidiary, coupled with (2) the effects of multidomestic intention and resource gap in internal relationship. Building on this definition and using data in 118 subsidiaries located in Taiwan, the model indicates that MNE internal linkage indeed influences subsidiary network embeddedness. The distinctive features of this paper are to explore the contextual linkage between MNE and its subsidiary business context, and to the development of the concept of subsidiary technical embeddedness. Hypotheses are dawn on the literature and are then tested in a LISREL model based on data concerning 118 foreign subsidiaries in Taiwan, indicating that technical embeddedness has an impact on expected performance increasing perceived by the subsidiary and its role in the development of products and production process in the MNE. Specially, through different external technical embedddeness formed by supplier and customer concludes two distinctive implications for MNE.
