Subsidiary Autonomy

Subsidiary autonomy refers to the degree of independence a company's subsidiary (a smaller company owned by a larger corporation) has in making its own decisions. While the parent company provides overall direction and resources, the subsidiary can operate with its own management, develop strategies, and handle day-to-day activities independently. This balance allows the subsidiary to adapt to local markets and innovate, while still aligning with the parent company's broader goals. Essentially, subsidiary autonomy offers a mix of independence and oversight, enabling efficient management tailored to specific regions or sectors.
