title = {Competence-building in foreign subsidiaries: The case of new EU member states},
year = {2011},
note = {This article examines patterns of competence-building in foreign
subsidiaries located in new member states of the European Union. Among
the theoretical foundations of this paper are the concepts of dynamic
capabilities and subsidiary-specific advantages. We consider
subsidiary competences as a combination of distinctive competences
built into particular business functions. Furthermore, we examine
sources of competences, and complementarities between these sources.
We use a proprietary database to examine the research topic and find
distinctive uneven growth of functional competences over time,
distinctive patterns of complementarities between different functional
competences and specific patterns of access to sources of competence.
Finally, we discuss managerial and policy implications.},
