以前的研究探讨了多业务公司的业务单位绩效的预测因素，并调查了行业，公司和业务单位对业务单位绩效的影响程度。这些研究几乎完全集中于审查一个国家内的业绩差异，因此将国家效应视为业务单位业绩的外部因素。与此相反，本研究的重点是跨国公司，并探讨在何种程度上国家的影响解释的变化，在外国子公司的业绩。我们的研究结果表明，国家效应和行业效应一样强，其次是附属公司效应和公司效应。我们的研究结果还表明，公司和子公司的影响往往是更关键的解释在发达国家的外国子公司的表现的变化，而国家和行业的影响在发展中国家更为突出。版权所有© 2004年约翰威利父子有限公司。
Previous studies have explored the predictors of business unit performance in multiple‐business firms and investigated the extent of the effect of industry, corporate, and business unit on the performance of a business unit. These studies have focused almost exclusively on examining performance differences within a single country, thus treating country effects as external to business unit performance. In contrast, this study focuses on multinational corporations and examines the extent to which country effects explain the variation in the performance of foreign affiliates. Our findings show that country effects are as strong as industry effects, following affiliate effects and corporate effects. Our results also suggest that corporate and affiliate effects tend to be more critical in explaining the variation in foreign affiliate performance in developed countries, whereas country and industry effects are more salient in developing countries.
