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.
