Abstract/Summary

We examine the relationship between subsidiary managers’ various international experience and their subsidiary-unit performance taking particular account of the mediating effect of dual advice networks. These are combined networks allowing the subsidiary manager to access both corporate HQ and local sources of information, resources and knowledge. Using a survey of subsidiary-unit manager in South Korean MNEs, we find that when a subsidiary manager has more international experiences in both the MNE’s home and host country, the extent and duration of a subsidiary-unit manager’s international experiences has a positive relationship with subsidiary-unit performance mediated by the size and benefits of dual advice networks.
