Resumo: The purpose of this paper is to analyze relationship patterns between headquarters and subsidiaries of Brazilian Multinationals Enterprises (BrMNEs). The key construct for that investigation is Subsidiary Initiative, which comprises Subsidiary Entrepreneurial Orientation, Autonomy, Integration, Local Competitive Context and Business Network. A survey was carried out in a sample of 65 subsidiaries of 29 BrMNEs. The main outcome is that subsidiaries are highly integrated and receive Entrepreneurial Orientation from Headquarters (HQs), but Initiative is limited. Actually, the main determinants of subsidiary’s initiatives are Local Context and Business Networking in the host country. This apparent paradox may be explained by what we call ‘rebellious subsidiaries’, which take initiatives based on their business environment and connections, regardless of their HQs’ directions or delegation of autonomy.

Um survey foi realizado em uma amostra de 65 filiais, de 29 BrMNEs. O principal resultado é que a Iniciativa das filiais das BrMNEs ainda é limitada. As filiais são caracterizadas por elevada integração com a matriz e forte orientação empreendedora. Entretanto, os principais determinantes das iniciativas são o contexto competitivo e a rede de negócios no país estrangeiro. Este aparente paradoxo pode ser explicado por aquilo que estamos chamando de “filiais rebeldes”, aquelas que tomam iniciativas com base no seu ambiente empresarial, independentemente do consentimento da matriz ou delegação de autonomia. Este resultado é suportado pela análise dos dados, que mostra que as filiais empreendedoras têm baixa autonomia concedida pela matriz. RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas RAE - Revista de Administração de EmpresasRAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas2009-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/36237RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas ; Vol. 49 No. 3 (2009): julho-setembro; 253-265RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas; Vol. 49 Núm. 3 (2009): julho-setembro; 253-265RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas; v. 49 n. 3 (2009): julho-setembro; 253-2652178-938X0034-7590reponame:Revista de Administração de Empresasinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/36237/35016Borini, Felipe MendesFleury, Maria Tereza LemeFleury, Afonso Carlos CorrêaOliveira Junior, Moacir de Mirandainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-08-17T18:38:29Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/36237Revistahttps://rae.fgv.br/raeONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprae@fgv.br||ilda.fontes@fgv.br||raeredacao@fgv.br2178-938X0034-7590opendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:54.159468Revista de Administração de Empresas - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
