Paper Summary

Chinese multinationals with strong political ties face challenges in transferring knowledge between headquarters and subsidiaries. The distance between them increases the demand for knowledge transfer from subsidiaries to headquarters, but decreases the willingness of subsidiaries to actually transfer knowledge. This means that these companies need to work on aligning the goals of headquarters and subsidiaries when it comes to sharing knowledge.
