title = {Impact of greening on the upgrading of manufacturing subsidiaries’ technological capabilities – A Hungarian perspective},
year = {2018},
note = {This paper investigates the relation between greening in global
companies and the upgrading of manufacturing subsidiaries’
technological capabilities. Drawing on a proprietary database of
secondary source information about greening-related product and
process upgrading, research and technology development, and functional
upgrading at 25 Hungarian manufacturing subsidiaries, we identify two
greening related mechanisms that propel the upgrading of
subsidiaries’ technological capabilities. First, greening enhances
the organisational decomposition of innovation, which facilitates
manufacturing subsidiary scientists’ and technicians’
participation in the global R&D team of their owners. Second, greening
related changes in corporate routines prompt the delegation of new,
sophisticated business functions and activities to subsidiaries. Some
of the new tasks require subsidiaries’ indigenous technology
efforts.},
