    Abstract

    For many globally dispersed organisations, the home base (HB) is a
    historic locus of integrative and coordinating efforts that safeguard overall
    performance. However, the dynamism of global operations networks is
    increasingly pulling the centre of gravity away from the HB and dispersing it
    across the network, challenging the HB’s ability to sustain its centrality over
    time. To counteract this tendency, this paper addresses the gap in the literature
    regarding the development of the network management capability of the HB
    within the context of its network. Data was collected through a retrospective
    longitudinal case study of an intra-organisational operations network of one
    OEM and its three foreign subsidiaries. The findings suggest a row of strategic
    roles and corresponding managerial capabilities, which the HB needs to develop
    depending on the changing subsidiaries’ competencies and HB-subsidiary
    relationships.
