Subsidiary Entrepreneurial Alertness: Antecedents And Outcomes, Jennifer Dann
Subsidiary Entrepreneurial Alertness: Antecedents And Outcomes, Jennifer Dann
Doctoral
This thesis brings together concepts from both international business and entrepreneurship to develop a framework of the facilitators of subsidiary innovation and performance.

Innovation Systems assert that innovation depends not only on how individual firms and external actors operate, but also on the dynamics of their interaction as part of the system. While funding for innovation is a central theme of Innovation Systems models, there is a gap in the literature on this topic, particularly in regard to the role played by government in transition economies (Bruton, Su, & Filatotchev, 2018). The majority of the research has focused on micro/meso-level support, but there is a significant …
