This paper draws on the knowledge-based view and contributes to literature on subsidiary entrepreneurship which is an underestimated topic despite its importance for firm performance. The paper addresses limitations of previous studies, and develops a conceptual model and propositions based on a literature review. The Page 265 THURSDAY AIB 2014 Conference Proceedings propositions highlight associations among types of barriers to competition that may obstruct post-entry growth of the foreign subsidiary, transfer and acquisition of knowledge of barriers, and the moderating role of subsidiary’s entrepreneurial orientation. The first proposition predicts that the greater the foreign subsidiary’s entrepreneurial orientation, the stronger the positive association between knowledge of scale barriers transferred to the subsidiary and the subsidiary’s relative growth. The second proposition predicts that the greater the foreign subsidiary’s entrepreneurial orientation, the stronger the positive association between knowledge of customer access barriers acquired by the subsidiary and the subsidiary’s relative growth. Theoretical and managerial contributions are discussed.
