The objective of this work is to analyze the headquarters-subsidiary relation of a multinational company in the pharmaceutical sector of Brazil. In order to reach this objective, a review of literature on the international business area, supply chain, logistics costs, regulatory affairs, infrastructure and corporative strategy was carried out with the intention of understanding the different factors that influence the role of the subsidiaries in relation to their headquarters and to the markets in which they are installed. From this literature, some typologies were selected for an empirical analysis inside the selected company. The methodology used was a single case study split into two sub-units of analysis, the subsidiary and the headquarters. Analyses of the national and international pharmaceutical divisions (including the regulatory model), were also carried out, aiming at a better comprehension and contextualization of the headquarters-subsidiary relationship. The analysis of the results of this case study, substantiated in the framework, concluded that this subsidiary is subject to strong impacts from the regulatory model on the part of Anvisa. The logistics infrastructure lacked sufficient efficiency and competitiveness in face of its competitors, which decreased its autonomy regarding strategic decision-making within the Corporation.
