| dc.description.abstract | To meet overseas resources and economic market’s operational requirements, organizational deployment of companies tends to be multinational, and consequently brings up multinational corporations. Due to global-scale distribution of multinational corporations’ subsidiaries and political, social and cultural contexts that varies from nation to nation, the practice of global human resource management needs to take much more complicated factors into consideration. In order to make an enterprise prevail in international environment, it matters to employ a proper overseas manager. To narrow down the problematic for the present study: should multinational corporations’ staffing strategy of their overseas manager be based on the subsidiary or the parent company’s nationality? This study aims at an analysis to 226 public traded companies of Taiwan, each with at least 15 billion of capital, in electronic industry. Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Correlation Coefficient Analysis and Binary Logistic Regression Analysis are employed to investigate into the relationship between multinational corporations’ staffing strategy of overseas manager and the contexts of such corporations’ subsidiary and parent company.
It is discovered that the possibility of the overseas subsidiary company’s previous manager to have foreign nationality, the number of overseas subsidiary company’s established years, the possibility of the overseas subsidiary company’s established region to be Europe and Australia, the number of consolidated operating revenue of the parent company, and the number of countries that the parent company put investment in have positive correlation with multinational corporations’ staffing strategy that is based on foreign nationality, and negative correlation with the number of overseas subsidiary company’s capital and the number of overseas business activities of the parent company. Additionally, it is also discovered that when the previous foreign manager is not achieving ideal business performance, the staffing strategy of succeeding overseas manager is more domestic-oriented.
