CRETINI, Ignacio; DELFINI, Marcelo y OUADRANA, Alejandra. Determinants of Local Autonomy in the Management of Work in Multinational Companies. The Case of Argentine Subsidiaries. Ens. Econ. [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.58, pp.109-133. Epub 16-Jul-2021. ISSN 0121-117X. https://doi.org/10.15446/ede.v31n58.88667.
The objective of this article is to analyze the determining factors of local autonomy in the management of work at subsidiaries of multinational companies in Argentina. Based on specialized literature, hypotheses are formulated taking the following explanatory variables: country of origin, form of entry into local market, integration with head quarters and other subsidiaries, existence of intermediary divisions in decision making, degree of transnationalism at the level of union affiliation. The analysis is based on a survey applied between 2016 and 2017 at subsidiaries, it begins by identifying through an agglomeration analysis two groups of companies according to their autonomy. Later, an analysis is carried out of the marginal effects that allow an improved interpretation of the incidence of each explanatory variable on the dependent. The econometric results indicate that American companies, with a higher level of transnationalism and regional divisions reduce the probability of having a high autonomy in the management of their work force. On the other hand, commercial connection with the multinational network has a positive effect on the probability that the companies have a high local autonomy in the subsidiaries' work practices.
