Summary: | MNCs (Multinational Corporation) have been considered a salient
phenomenon and a popular subject under investigation. Amongst a plethora
of research streams, the capability of a MNC to effectively transfer – to
relocate or replicate – its organisational resources within the company
network has been considered fundamental to its competitive advantage.
Recognising this stream of investigation, this thesis aims at, firstly, mapping
this research area, and secondly, identifying current knowledge gaps.
Particularly, the interest of this research is the context of manufacturing.
A SLR (Systematic Literature Review) approach was adopted to identify
and examine relevant preceding research from two major electronic
databases (ProQuest and EBASCO). The findings of this research contribute
an overview of and potential knowledge gaps in this research area.
