摘要
本文首先以威廉姆森的交易三维度作为分析工具,讨论哪些因素会对跨国公司海外子公司管理层人员的选拔产生影响。海外子公司管理层人员的选择需要考虑诸多成本,如甄选和招聘成本、培训和内部化成本、控制和评价成本以及违约执行成本等等。究竟选择母公司外派还是当地人员担任海外子公司经理,决定于哪种方式的总成本更低。并通过实证分析对理论假设进行了验证。7个假设中有5个得到了验证,表明实证结果和理论推导是比较吻合的。
Based on the review of transaction cost theory, this paper proposes that when multinational corporations decide on whether to recruit expatriates or local managers, they have to consider a bunch of transaction costs, including selection and recruitment costs, training and internalization costs, monitoring and evaluation costs and enforcement costs. Only when the total costs of staffing expatriates are lower than staffing local managers, multinational corporations recruit expatriates. Then, this paper formulates a series of hypotheses on the basis of theory analysis. With a sample of 151 subsidiaries in China, an empirical study is constructed to test the hypotheses. Empirical results may clearly explain the paradox between the cost reduction principle and the costly recruitment of expatiates.
