讲座内容简介：This study, drawing on the institution-based view, investigates the influences of subnational economic, political, and social institutions on the ownership choice of foreign affiliates of multinational corporations (MNCs). A longitudinal analysis of 9,648 foreign affiliates established in 28 subnational regions in China between 1999 and 2007 shows that MNCs tend to lower ownership level in foreign affiliates when economic and political institutions are deficient in a subnational region. Our results further show that subnational social institutions serve as substitutes for deficient subnational economic institutions but not for political institutions in terms of shaping ownership choice. The findings also reveal that the influences of subnational political (social) institutions are stronger for large (export market-focused) foreign affiliates.The implications for research and for managers of MNCs are discussed.
