The Systems Transfer Characteristics of Firms in Spain: A Comparative Study of U.S. and Spanish Firms.

This paper represents the findings of a study conducted in Barcelona, Spain, in 1968, which compares some aspects of the operations of American subsidiaries and domestic firms.[2] The research methodology attempts to go beyond individual case studies by dealing with the interaction of firm and environment and by exploring their interchange. This paper is addressed to the problem of establishing cause and effect relationships between the corporate policy and strategy of a firm and the efficiency of the firm in the long run.
