✦ Synopsis

This paper analyses the degree of technology decentralization in four European countries, i.e. Belgium, Greece, Portugal and United Kingdom using a sample of 145 MNE subsidiaries. The research focuses in particular on the sources of technology used by subsidiaries and on the characteristics and roles of overseas Research and Development (R&D) laboratories. The relationship among the various sources of technology and the production roles of subsidiaries is tested using the OLS technique. Results underline the growing importance of decentralized R&D in the strategic re-orientation of MNE subsidiaries roles.
