The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of Parent-Performance Management System (parent-PMS) implemented by headquarter on decision-making by subsidiaries from perspectives of the design and use of parent-PMS. The analyses using survey data from 234 top-managements in Japanese subsidiaries indicate some findings as follows. First, “comprehensiveness” as a characteristic of the design of parent-PMS influence on decision-making by subsidiaries. Second, when headquarter use PMS “interactively,” parent-PMS can influence on decision-making by subsidiaries. Finally, while positive interaction effect between “comprehensiveness” and “diagnostic use” of parent-PMS on subsidiaries decision-making is confirmed, interaction between “comprehensiveness” and “interactive use” of parent-PMS negatively influence on subsidiaries decision-making.
