Abstract
The study draws on survey evidence from 332 foreign subsidiaries in a developed (New Zealand) and a developing (Brazil) economy to examine the relationship of MNE subsidiary characteristics (age and size) to subsidiary strategic and operational autonomy. It is found that subsidiary age and size do not affect subsidiary strategic autonomy, but subsidiary size may affect subsidiary operational autonomy. It is concluded that subsidiary size affects subsidiary operational autonomy if the subsidiary has a local market focus. The study suggests that for multi-country studies the heterogeneity of headquarter-subsidiary relationship and subsidiary national context be considered.
