本文的目的是探讨海外研发基地的内部嵌入性，即与其母公司的关系对基地创新绩效的影响。虽然现有研究内部嵌入性的研究大多关注控制-自主维度，但本文考虑了基地与母体之间的信息、人力和资本互动因素。通过多方面的调查，我们发现，家长控制力较弱、与家长信息联动性较强的基地表现出较高的绩效。此外，研究结果表明，人际互动，例如研发经理从母公司的调动，对影响控制和信息联动程度具有关键作用。根据这些发现，有人认为平衡基础父关系中的依赖和独立并设计适当的人际互动以实现这一点将是全球研发中的重要管理问题。
The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of internal embeddedness of overseas R&D base, or the relationship with its parent company, on innovation performance of the base. While existing studies that examined the internal embeddedness have paid most attention to control–autonomy dimension, this paper takes into consideration the factors of information, human, and capital interaction between the base and the parent. Through such multi-faceted investigation, we found that the bases with weaker control by parent and stronger information linkage with parent demonstrated higher performance. Moreover, the research result revealed that the human interaction, e.g., the transfer of R&D manager from parent, had a pivotal roles affecting the degree of both control and information linkage. With these findings, it was argued that to balance dependency and independency in the base–parent relationship and to design appropriate human interactions for realising it would be important management issues in global R&D.
