Abstract
Abstract This paper contributes to the theory of subsidiary evolution in multinational corporations through utilising a value chain approach. It assesses the changing activities of the branches of J apanese electronics firms located in S outheast A sia (the ASEAN region) since the 1997–1998 financial crisis. In the paper, we argue that a modest development of J apanese subsidiaries has occurred in this region during the past 10 years or so. We connect models of subsidiary development to M ichael P orter's value chain in the results of a set of interviews with 37 managers in the factories, sales offices and regional headquarters of Japanese subsidiary companies located in S ingapore, M alaysia and T hailand. We show that decentralisation of management functions from J apan occurred in both primary and support activities of the value chain. However, corporate long‐term research and development did not disperse to S outheast A sia and is unlikely to in the near future. The article interprets these results and highlights the need for further research relating to the evolving geography of J apanese electronics multinational corporations and their subsidiaries in S outheast A sia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
