Why your foreign subsidiary never reaches its full potential

Managing a foreign subsidiary, like in Asia is not just about growth. It’s about control, alignment, and execution across cultures, time zones, and systems.

  • Lack of transparency between HQ and local management

  • High operational costs without visible performance gains

  • Cultural and communication gaps slowing down decisions

  • Weak local leadership structures

  • High employee turnover and low engagement

  • Compliance and governance risks across borders

  • Inefficient processes and unclear accountability

Most companies feel these symptoms. Few know how mature their subsidiary really is.
