Abstract
We examine the factors that influence the formal authority structure in multi-subsidiary firms, focusing on co-parented subsidiaries that have two or more direct owners who themselves belong to the same firm. We argue that a subsidiary is more likely to be co-parented when its need for intrafirm coordination, and thus the need for information processing, is high. Accordingly, the likelihood that a subsidiary will be co-parented increases with the number of other units in the firm and the relatedness of the focal subsidiary to them. Results of analyses, based on the population of subsidiaries of manufacturing firms operating in France between 1999 and 2004, support the predictions.
