Abstract
In a study of the autonomy of decision making in multinational corporations, 23 explanatory variables grouped in 11 dimensions were tested in 3 separate surveys conducted in France and in Mexico. Degree of interchange of products among members, ownership, workflow integration, and size of the global group were found to be the main predictors of autonomy.
