PublicationEuropean business research in perspective: The focus of regionalisation in the international business literatureAs Europe – especially the European Union (EU) – represents one of the most advanced forms of integration of regional organisations. In drawing from corporate strategy, the chapter offers a better understanding of the phenomenon of regionalisation by discussing and challenging popular perspectives on the topic found in the international business literature. All of the studies aim to improve understanding of multinational corporations (MNCs) scope, which is a key issue in strategy research. Organisations constantly face corporate-level issues, which can be grouped into the categories of scope and value creation. Scholars have long shown an interest in the magnitude of globalisation and regionalisation, and the scope of MNCs' operations. The second stream explaining the phenomenon of regionalisation bases its arguments on aspects of organisational structure. MNC regions are defined in terms of regional denominators, that markets within a region are perceived as closer than markets outside that region.Type: book section

PublicationThe Agency Perspective for Studying Headquarters-Subsidiary Relations: An Assessment(Jai Press, 2016)
;Ambos, Tina C.Birkinshaw, JulianDespite the increasing use of the agency perspective in studies of headquarters-subsidiaries relations in the multinational corporation (MNC), opponents fundamentally question its utility. In an attempt to contribute to this debate, we evaluate prior studies and develop considerations for future research. Our review of extant studies of headquarters-subsidiaries relations that make (explicit) use of the agency perspective reveals two significant shortcomings. First, we identify a need to validate the underlying assumptions when using the agency perspective in studies of headquarters-subsidiaries relations. Second, we detect a need to better account for the multi-layered nature of headquarters-subsidiary relations in the MNC. A focus on these two areas can improve the use of the agency perspective and, ultimately, help resolve the contentious debate over the utility of the agency perspective.Type: book sectionVolume: Vol. 17 / First edition -
