Abstract

Reports on an empirical study which was undertaken to investigate the regional economic impact of the subsidiaries of foreign‐owned firms in the UK. The direct effects upon company employment and sales turnover are analysed as well as the indirect effects which are manifested through the supply chain. A statistical analysis highlights key relationships and the article illustrates that entry mode, and multinational enterprise (MNE) ownership are influential variables in the process of regional economic development. The relationship between these variables is complex, but it does account for significant differences in the impact which the subsidiaries of MNEs make upon the local economy.
