Agrarian potential of personal subsidiary plots

Additional Plots and Subsidiary analyses for

Developmental disorders show wide variations in severity even when, on genetic grounds, it is known that there is a common underlying cause. We used connectionist models of development combined with population modelling techniques to explore possible mechanistic causes of variations in disorder severity. Specifically, we investigated the plausibility of the hypothesis that disorder variability ...

Expatriate Knowledge Transfer, Subsidiary Absorptive Capacity, and Subsidiary Performance

In this study, we theoretically identify three dimensions of expatriate competenciesability, motivation, and opportunity seeking—for knowledge transfer. Integrating the ability-motivation-opportunity framework and the absorptive capacity perspective, we propose that expatriate competencies in knowledge transfer influence a subsidiary's performance through the knowledge received by the subsidiar...

Determining Factors of Subsidiary Development

Subsidiary development is a multi-dimensional construct that cannot be captured just by looking at subsidiary roles, activities, etc. Three distinct dimensions of subsidiary development are identified and these are: scope of subsidiary (the breadth of activities), level of subsidiary competence (the depth of activities) and level of integration in the internal MNC-network.
