Summary:This study provides a conceptual framework and typology to measure headquarters and subsidiary dependency on capabilities and resources. Using an in-depth longitudinal case study approach, it highlights a novel phenomenon called "reverse dependency," which indicates that a headquarters dependency on its subsidiary is rising.

The study offers implications for the theory of subsidiary entrepreneurship and location embeddedness.
