本文探讨了跨国企业 (MNE) 文献的主要发展；以及对苏格兰跨国公司子公司进行的研究以及苏格兰旨在促进外国直接投资（FDI）的政策变化。建议子公司由分厂型向发展型、创业型子公司演变；这三种附属类型对东道国经济发展的贡献各不相同。对苏格兰格林诺克 IBM 的深入分析得出的实证证据证明了创业附属活动对东道国经济的重要性。讨论了对研究和公共政策的影响。
This paper explores the major developments in the multinational enterprise (MNE) literature; along with the research conducted on Scottish-based MNE subsidiaries and the policy changes that have taken place in Scotland aimed at promoting foreign direct investment (FDI). It is suggested that subsidiaries may evolve from the branch plant to the developmental and the entrepreneurial subsidiary type; with each of these three subsidiary types contributing differently to the economic development of the host country. The empirical evidence from an in-depth analysis of IBM, Greenock, Scotland attests to the importance of the entrepreneurial subsidiary activities for the host economy. Implications for research and public policy are discussed.
