Subsidiaries and Branches

A company can set up a branch in the foreign country to handle the sales of the product abroad. A parent company specifies the tasks and goals of a branch. Those usually consist of marketing and selling the product.

If the managers of the parent company decide to arrange the company's own production facilities (plants, factories, etc) overseas, they set up a subsidiary. A subsidiary works under the laws of the foreign country and to the profit of its parent company. Some subsidiaries are to a great extend independent of their parent companies because the home management believes that the on-site managers are in the best position to make decisions.

1. The goals and tasks of a branch consist of: a/manufacturing products b/ handling the red tape in the foreign company c/marketing and selling the product.

2. Some subsidiaries are independent of their home management because: a/ they work under the laws of a foreign country b/ the parent company officers think that the on-site managers can make better decisions c/they have tasks different from those of the parent companies.
