- Description
- This paper theoretically investigates the role of top management teams on the restructuring decisions and consequent performance of subsidiaries in transition economies. Subsidiary top management teams (TMTs) have a critical role in performing complex decision-making in response to perceived environmental dynamism,, and we argue that the environmental dynamism of transition economies increases the value of access to knowledge in decision-making. Consequently, we predict that functional heterogeneity of subsidiary top management teams will enhance subsidiary performance, mediated by subsidiary-initiated strategic change. We further argue that the extent to which heterogeneous membership influences performance will be moderated by subsidiary autonomy.
