9 Preface This book is a development of my doctoral dissertation. Parts of the material here have appeared in various locations but I have decided to present the results of the research in a classic monograph form in order to facilitate their further dissemination. There are three major reasons for this decision. First, the book presents a more general conceptualization of the headquarters-subsidiary relationship in multinational corporations than any previous model. Second, it adds considerably to the empirical literatures on subsidiary autonomy, control mechanisms and knowledge management and innovation in multinational corporations. Third, from a more parochial perspective, there is a paucity of recent research on multinational corporations in Australia and this book offers, I hope, a baseline and guide for future firm level studies of this topic. The work should be of interest to scholars, practitioners and students alike. To complete a task of this order required advice, assistance and encouragement and many people made contributions both great and small to this venture. Tim Bartram, Simon Bell, Michelle Brown, Richard Hoffman, Rick Iverson, Angie Knox, Carol Kulik, Ros Makris, Lynn McAlevey, David Merrett and Lea Waters came to my aid in moments of need. Tatiana Zalan and Shey Newitt kindly read and commented upon earlier versions. I owe particular gratitude for the huge contributions of Bulent Menguc to Chapter 8 and Angela Paladino to Chapter 10. Overall, however, the two crutches that I leaned upon most heavily were Christina Cregan and my doctoral supervisor Stephen Nicholas. My grateful thanks to you both. From Palgrave Macmillan my thanks go to Jacky Kippenberger and, as an ex-subeditor myself, I greatly appreciate the excellent work put in by Shirley Tan at EXPO Holdings. In addition, I wish to acknowledge the early career researcher and faculty grants I received from the Faculty of Economics and Commerce at Melbourne University and the facilities provided during study leave at the Department of Finance and Quantitative Studies, Otago University, Dunedin, New Zealand and the School of Business, University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Finally, and of utmost importance, I wish to express my gratitude to the 313 executives whose contributions made the research possible. ix
