Abstract
A structure has been imposed on the firms’ responses so that each chapter, from Chapter 4 onwards, represents a succeeding stage in the total process of initiating, setting up and running an overseas production subsidiary. There remains only this chapter which covers the firms’ responses on their own view of the total process. Thus this chapter looks at the lessons learned and the problems encountered by the forty-three firms with their first overseas production subsidiaries.
