Resumé
accessed and/or generated by a subsidiary are crucial in defining its competitive status. Evidence cited from a study of MNE subsidiaries in China demonstrates the value of the concept of CT. Though pre-CT operations of
an ES, export-oriented, nature have played a role in China it is shown that, to an increasing degree, it is now post-CT innovation that provides the dominant imperative. But, contrary to traditional Product Mandates, a major strand of this innovation targets an embedded position in China's growth for MNEs.

N2 - The paper focuses on a ‘creative transition' (CT) as a crucial tipping point in the strategic evolution of MNE subsidiaries. Before a CT a subsidiary's operations will be based around application (in a market-seeking or efficiency-seeking strategy) of the successful established technologies and products of the MNE group. After the CT (as, for example, a Product Mandate) the subsidiary will be deriving new sources of technology, notably from its host country, and developing new products from these. Thus, we argue, the sources of technologyaccessed and/or generated by a subsidiary are crucial in defining its competitive status. Evidence cited from a study of MNE subsidiaries in China demonstrates the value of the concept of CT. Though pre-CT operations ofan ES, export-oriented, nature have played a role in China it is shown that, to an increasing degree, it is now post-CT innovation that provides the dominant imperative. But, contrary to traditional Product Mandates, a major strand of this innovation targets an embedded position in China's growth for MNEs.
