The general objective is to analyze different factors considered as determinants of local innovation in foreign subsidiaries installed in different types of environments, using research carried out at the subnational Brazilian, Brazilian national and international levels, the latter through a cross-country between Brazil and New Zealand. The research is developed in the format of articles and all the researches carried out are quantitative. The first survey is based on primary data collected in 2009 and refers to the Brazilian subnational environment, whose final sample is 287 subsidiaries and also on secondary data related to the obstacles of the Brazilian subnational business environment collected in the World Bank Enterprise Surveys for the same period. The second survey is based on primary data collected in 2014 and refers to the Brazilian national environment, whose final sample is 130 subsidiaries as well as secondary data regarding institutional distance collected in the Worldwide Governance Indicator for the same period. The third survey covers the international level, based on primary data collected in 2010/2011 for Brazil and the final sample is 157 subsidiaries and primary data collected in 2011/2012 for New Zealand and the final sample is 182 subsidiaries and also in secondary data that refer to institutional distance, collected in the Worldwide Governance Indicator for the period of 2011. Due to the different databases, the objectives of each research and the size of the samples, different techniques of data analysis were used: multiple linear regression, factorial analysis and structural equation modeling. The results show that they are determinants of local innovation, derived from the perspectives of environmental determinism, institutions and networks, the subnational competitive environment, external embeddedness at the subnational and national levels, the trust derived from internal embeddedness at the international level and depending on the context, if national or international, also institutional distance, so that the latter should be seen with greater accuracy, because it has been shown that distance matters differently for innovation in the context of a developed and developing country, respectively.
