Reverse Knowledge Transfer
One of the main competitive advantages Multinational Companies can have in multiple locations lies in the development of a global strategy based on the knowledge acquired from subsidiaries located in different countries. This calls attention to the reverse knowledge transfer process. The reverse knowledge transfer refers to the process of transferring knowledge from subsidiaries around the world to their headquarters. The knowledge acquired or developed by foreign subsidiaries of Multinational Companies can have some applicability in the context of the multinational’s country of origin. In addition, the knowledge from a specific subsidiary can solve global problems faced by other subsidiaries of the same multinational corporation. |
