AbstractWe use a sample of 400-1200 Japanese subsidiaries over the time period 1992-2003 to examine the important phenomenon of subsidiary downsizing. Specifically we sought to understand why some subsidiaries were downsized versus others that were not. We found factors such as subsidiary profitability, parent multinationality, local partner presence, parent equity, subsidiary localness and relatedness, cultural distance and expatriates all affected the downsizing decision. However, not all effects were in the proposed direction and some were contrary to extant knowledge regarding divestments suggesting that downsizing may be distinct from exits and require independent treatment. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
