MNE competence‐creating subsidiary mandates (2005, background): “…were complementary (or more precisely, they were different representations or ways of measuring of the same phenomenon), in more recent times they may be substitutes as a wider range of technologies is now needed to support a narrower range of products (Cantwell and Piscitello, 2000).”
Overcoming the liability of foreignness without strong firm capabilities — the value of market-based resources (2010, background): “…or natural resources), there is a remarkable consensus about the qualities that can be found in locations where created or strategic asset-seeking (Cantwell and Piscitello, 2000; Dunning, 1998), knowledge-seeking (Chung and Alcacer, 2002), competence-creating (Cantwell and Mudambi, 2005),…”

An evolutionary approach to understanding international business activity: The co-evolution of MNEs and the institutional environment (2010, unknown): “Consequently, as selected subsidiaries begin to take up innovation in fields that are new to their corporate group, this facilitates increasing specialization of locations in line with their greatest underlying areas of competence or innovative traditions (Cantwell & Piscitello, 2000).”
