Com a globalização económica, a diminuição do ciclo de vida dos produi emergência da economia do conhecimento e a importância da inovação enquanto factor de competitividade, as companhias multinacionais têm de reconfigurar os seus recursos e processos para competir à escala mundial. Tal implica uma evolução no papel das subsidiárias locais de empresas multinacionais. A partir dos anos 80, e com o paradigma da "economia do conhecimento", a interdependência começa a ganhar um papel crescente no funcionamento das multinacionais, tomando-se os papéis das subsidiárias mais complexos e estrategicamente mais importantes para a multinacional, enquanto centros de inovação ou de captação de tendências de mercado potenciáveis à escala mundial. E neste contexto que surgem os "Centros de Excelência": subsidiárias com competências distintas e de utilização generalizada dentro da rede multinacional. O propósito desta dissertação é compreender melhor de que formas evoluem e quais os factores que podem facilitar o estabelecimento em Portugal de "Centros de Excelência" de empresas multinacionais.
