Based on quantitative and qualitative empirical methods this research adds to the understanding of the control of subsidiaries through expatriates by investigating the issue specifically in the CEE region. In this study the multifaceted contributions of expatriates to the control and operations of subsidiaries are emphasized, although a significant positive relationship between the use of expatriates and subsidiary performance is found only for certain observation periods and on some of the performance indicators. The results are in line with those of previous research in other regions that have reported contradictory tendencies regarding the impact of employing expatriates on subsidiary performance.
