Transnational production sharing (TPS) involves the sharing of a companys production between two or more countries. A behavioral framework of TPS is presented to gain an understanding of TPS experiences of individual firms. Ten surveyed firms from Minnesota and nine from Taiwan provide the empirical foundation for transforming the behavioral framework of TPS into a contextual framework for TPS.
