| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research utilizes a mixed-method approach with a qualitative explorative study and a quantitative theory testing study, to investigate a relatively new and unexplored research topic: bridge individuals, bridging roles, and their implications for the headquarter (HQ)-subsidiary relationships of multinational companies (MNCs).
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project employed a mixed-method approach, including a qualitative explorative study and a quantitative theory-testing study, to investigate expatriates' boundary spanning activities and their implications for interpersonal relationships in foreign subsidiaries and between headquarter and subsidiary relationships of multinational companies. The project developed and validated a novel theoretical framework on the double-edged effects of expatriates' boundary spanning in the global context, specifically in the context of MNCs, foreign subsidiaries, and expatriate-host-country employee interactions. This context-specific approach contributes to the existing boundary spanning literature. Main findings from this research project have been presented at several international and domestic academic conferences and submitted to top academic journals.
