Multinational enterprises (MNEs) conduct foreign investments by transferring advantages across borders. Such advantages have varying degrees of transferability. This study explores the effect of the location-boundedness of MNEs' advantage on international strategy and subsequent subsidiaries' performance. The empirical analysis draws on a combination of survey data and data from two databases. Using multiple sources avoids common method biases. Regression results show that marketing advantage has a higher degree of location-boundedness than production advantage does. Lower degrees of advantage's location-boundedness have an association with better subsidiary performance. This study extends the resource-based view into international context by examining what kinds of advantage have higher location-boundedness. The study also explores the barriers to international advantage transfer and their influences on MNE strategy.
