Dana Minbaeva, Torben Pedersen, Ingmar Björkman, Carl F. Fey · 2002 · Academy of Management Proceedings

Summary. This study of 169 multinational corporation subsidiaries in the USA, Russia, and Finland shows that human resource management practices strengthen subsidiaries' ability to absorb and apply knowledge from parent companies. The research identifies absorptive capacity as having two components—employee ability and motivation—and demonstrates that when both dimensions work together, knowledge transfer from other parts of the corporation becomes significantly more effective.
