This paper studies the influence of external knowledge on innovation in subsidiaries of multinational firms. The focus on subsidiaries is especially interesting since they are simultaneously embedded in two knowledge contexts : a. the internal multinational corporation (MNC) comprised of the headquarters and other subsidiaries , and b. an external environment of regional or host country firms. We develop hypotheses to suggest that the extent of influences of these contets on subsidiary technological innovation depends on the characteristics of the knowledge network (technological richness and diversity) and the knowledge linkages of the subsidiary with other entitles. The study uses patent citation data pertaining to innovations by foreign subsidiaris of U. S. semiconductor firms to test these hypotheses. The paper finds that : a. the technological richness of the MNC b. the subsidiary's knowledge linkages to host country firms, and c. the technological of diversity within the host country have a positive impact on innovation
