子公司决策自主权是子公司的一种战略主动性,对跨国公司全球资源的有效利用具有重要意义。然而,子公司自主决策权具体对跨国公司发展有何战略性影响,当前学术界则关注较少且未进行验证。本文利用111家跨国公司子公司的多被访者调查数据,对子公司自主决策权与子公司绩效、母公司创新能力间的关系进行了实证研究,研究发现:子公司自主决策权对子公司绩效和母公司创新能力均有显著的正向影响,跨国公司全球导向在子公司自主决策权与母公司创新能力的关系中扮演显著的正向调节作用,而在子公司自主决策权与子公司绩效间关系中所扮演的调节作用并未得到支持。本研究不仅深化了资源依赖理论在国际商务研究中的应用,而且对跨国公司子公司管理和整体竞争能力提升具有重要的实践意义。
