The global dispersion of knowledge and technological capabilities has moved MNCs to assign lead responsibilities to offshore units in order to take advantage of this phenomenon.Moving core competencies to the periphery enables the firm to take advantage of resources not present in its home country, posing at the same time issues of integration and control.This paper challenges common suggestions of the superiority of social control to best utilize Centers of Excellence (CoEs) established abroad. Utilizing a sample of German national origin, we test propositions grounded in social network theory.
