Abstract

The impact of multinational corporations (MNCs) on host country industrial relations (IR) has long been a source of academic debate (cf. Bomers and Peterson, 1977). In evaluating the impact of MNCs, Gennard and Steuer (1971: 144) argued that it is ‘the foreignness of subsidiary behaviour which matters’, while, more recently, Ferner and Quintanilla (2002: 245) suggest that their key influence is that they ‘act as agents of change by introducing innovations into their subsidiaries and thence into the host business system’. It is this latter influence with which this chapter is concerned.
