Centers of excellence in multinational corporations
This study seeks to understand the conditions under which "centers of excellence" emerge in foreign subsidiaries of multinational firms. A center of excellence is defined as an organizational unit that embodies a set of capabilities that has been explicitly recognized by the firm as an important source of value creation, with the intention that these capabilities be leveraged by and/or disseminated to other parts of the firm. Drawing on overlapping research in international business and strategic management, it is argued that the formation of centers of excellence is shaped by conditions in the subsidiary's local environment as well as by various aspects of the subsidiary's relationship with other parts of the multinational firm. Based on a survey of 99 foreign units in Canada, the results highlight the fundamental role played by parent firm investment as well as the role of internal and external organization in the development of subsidiary capabilities. Performance implications of the center of excellence phenomenon are also explored in the study.Printed Journal
