Based on an interorganizational network view of the MNE, we advance the literature on expatriation strategies by demonstrating the influence of structural attributes of the MNE that originate from a unique composition of differentiated subsidiaries. Based on an empirical investigation of 124 Korean MNEs and their expatriation decisions in 1,621 downstream subsidiaries, this study demonstrates that MNE structural attributes, such as multinationality, power structure, and regional dependence, have significant effects on expatriation strategies in MNEs in terms of two different aspects: the intensity of expatriation and the variation of expatriation level among subsidiaries. Our findings provide several important implications for both theory and practice.
