SHORT TAKES

Abstract

A company's increasing global presence, unfortunately, seems to coincide with the increasingly vague role many foreign‐subsidiary managers get to play. Foreign‐subsidiary managers of global companies are losing authority and control over production decisions, which are being transferred to headquarters' product divisions, according to a report from the Conference Board in New York. In the past, these executives exercised considerable decision‐making autonomy over all operational activities.
