“…In the case of Indonesian part automotive relation between tier-1 and tier-2 companies reveals that government role has a positive impact on transfer technology. The result of the study was coherent with the previous study in other countries, in Malaysia (Sadoi, 2013), China (Sadoi, 2008) and Thailand (Lecler, 2002). Eventhough not mentioned specifically on vertical relation in tier-1 and tier-2 relation, in those countries, for the successful technology transfer process, an effective government or local government policies are needed.…”

Indonesian automotive sector played an important role to Indonesian GDPs; it contributes 28% in manufacturing composition. The goal of this research is to examine the vertical partnership between tier-1 and tier-2 automotive component companies in Jabodetabek, Indonesia, as concerns technology transfer, technical exchange, government role, and supplier performance. 93 companies, consisting of 59 tier-1 companies and 34 tier-2 companies became respondents in this study. The research was conducted by visiting sites and interviewing companies, based on Likert-scale questionnaires. Interviewees were persons at the middle management level or higher who understood or were responsible for measuring product quality (purposive sampling). The results of questionnaires were proceeded and analyzed by Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) path modeling using smart-PLS 3.2.7 software. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the government’s role and technology transfer, as well as between technology transfer and supplier performance improvement. However, there was no significant relationship between government role and supplier performance improvement, nor between technical exchange and supplier performance improvement.

“…A similar study was conducted by Sadoi (2008), comparing Malaysian to Chinese experience with technology transfer from foreign to local automotive parts in China. According to the author, Chinese firms were much faster in achieving localization than Malaysian ones, especially due to government policy on foreign direct investment.…”

“…were also key concerns of brazilian automotive executives. Also, as proposed by Sadoi (2008), Rasiah (2009) and Zhao, Anand and Mitchell (2005), supply relations are crucial for the development and transfer of technology capabilities. the mature company has outsourced a meaningful amount of its parts to suppliers that have mastered the technology of such products, but still controlled the interfaces and the knowledge of how to combine the different parts.…”

This paper aims to identify and analyze recent trajectories followed by two engine assembly plants set up in Brazil (one mature company and one newcomer), regarding operations and technology strategies undertaken by them. In short, the mature company has made efforts to increase quality and flexibility, while the newcomer has prioritized cost reduction and quality enhancements, besides taken action to increase its product nationalization. The main findings indicate that (1) competitive priorities seem to "pull" the trajectories, translating market needs into specific tasks that must be fulfilled by each strategy, while the advances made in each step may "push" the trajectories, setting the basis for new strategies and making them capable of moving further; (2) although advances along trajectories are intended and planned, they cannot be foreseen and alternate decisions may be necessary and (3) secondary factors like the degree of autonomy assigned to firms and accumulated knowledge also influence trajectories.

“…Moreover, China, as the world factory, offers an ideal environment to access valuable knowledge and resources associated with efficient manufacturing. For instance, technological exchanges between foreign firms and Chinese suppliers have been extensively documented (Hitt, Li, & Worthington, 2005; Li, Chen, & Shapiro, 2010; Li, Poppo et al, 2010; Sadoi, 2008; Wei & Liu, 2006). By studying 102 Taiwanese firms in China, Liao and Yu (2012) explicitly suggested that knowledge transferred from external suppliers is positively associated with subsidiary performance.…”

Adopting a differentiated network view of multinational corporations (MNCs), this study investigates how recently formed subsidiaries access diversified technological knowledge that allows them to differently contribute to the MNCs’ competence building. By employing a firm-specific measure of different technological knowledge categories, we study the competence building of foreign subsidiaries in China in electric and office equipment industry between 1996 and 2005. We find that foreign subsidiaries in China extensively access background technological knowledge to adjust to and benefit from technical changes in supply chain activities. Meanwhile, these subsidiaries actively access marginal technological knowledge to explore potential opportunities. Our results offer the supporting evidence of a differentiated network view of MNCs and contribute to subsidiary evolution literature.
