MOREIRA, António-Carrizo; PINTO, Bruna-Ferreira and RIBAU, Cláudia-Pires. Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the headquarters-subsidiary relationship. A qualitative approach. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.159, pp.280-293. Epub July 27, 2021. ISSN 0123-5923. https://doi.org/10.18046/j.estger.2021.159.4311.
The main objective of this paper was to analyze the internationalization process of a small and medium-sized enterprise, with special emphasis on the headquarters-subsidiary relationship, which is a little-studied subject in the field of this type of company. A qualitative approach was followed, based on case studies in which the evolutionary perspective and the headquarters-subsidiary relationship were analyzed; in addition, the resource dependency theory was used. It is concluded that there are several paths and relationships between the headquarters and each branch. Moreover, these trajectories changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
