标题: Economic Downturn, Operational Flexibility, and Foreign Subsidiary Divestment
摘要: 
This study examines how operational flexibility affects the likelihood of a multinational corporation’s (MNC’s) foreign subsidiary divestment. We argue that while host country economic downturn is positively associated with the likelihood of an MNC’s foreign subsidiary divestment, the MNC’s operational flexibility weaken this positive association. We find support for our arguments using a dataset of 511 Korean MNCs and event history analysis.
