This paper explores the importance of relational embeddedness in external network as a strategic resource for performance and competence development in multinatonal corporations (MNCs). Two different types of relational embeddedness and technical embeddedness are proposed to have an influence on that subsidiary's market performance as well as its importance for competence developement in the MNC. Using data on 97 swedish MNC subsidiaries, five hypotheses are tested in a LISREL model analysis. The result suggest that technical embeddedness has a positive impact on both the subsidiary expected performance and its role in the development of products and production processes in the MNC. Indirectly, through external technical embeddeddness, external business embeddedness also influences the sister units' product and process development and subsidiary market performance.
