With the sample of Korean manufacturing firsm, we examine what firm-specific factors may determine the probability that their technical and managerial know-how will successfully be transferred to their overseas operations. Our results indicate that successful transfer is facilitated by several organizational factors. Such as efficient communication and high trust between the HQ and subsidiary. Subsidiary autonomy, the HQ`s establishment of the advanced systems for supervising overseas business activities and training international experts. These findings suggest that a firm`s ability to transfer its knowhow across the borders is determined by multiple organizational factors.
