国际子公司的经理，特别是子公司的首席执行官，在跨国企业（MNE）的关键界面上运作，并对其所在国家的业务承担战略责任。然而，它们对子公司业绩的影响却很少受到研究的关注。建立在子公司创业和战略领导文献，我们开发了一个模型，子公司CEO的创业领导如何影响子公司的业绩，以及这种关系是如何调节的子公司的情况下，决定管理自由裁量权。我们结合联合收割机调查数据的291个国际子公司在韩国的档案数据，以测试我们的假设。我们的研究结果表明，子公司首席执行官的创业领导提高子公司的绩效，这种关系是加强了管理自由裁量权。我们的研究强调了跨国公司子公司CEO的关键作用，并有助于对国际子公司管理的微观基础的理解。
Managers of international subsidiaries, especially subsidiary CEOs, operate at critical interfaces within multinational enterprises (MNEs) and hold strategic responsibility for the operations in their country. Yet, their impact on subsidiary performance has received scant research attention. Building on the subsidiary entrepreneurship and strategic leadership literatures, we develop a model of how subsidiary CEOs’ entrepreneurial leadership affects subsidiary performance, and how this relationship is moderated by the subsidiary context that determines managerial discretion. We combine survey data of 291 international subsidiaries in South Korea with archival data to test our hypotheses. Our results show that subsidiary CEOs’ entrepreneurial leadership enhances subsidiary performance and that this relationship is strengthened by managerial discretion. Our study highlights the pivotal role of subsidiary CEOs within MNEs and contributes to a microfoundational understanding of international subsidiary management.
