%X This study investigates the relationship between subsidiary size and subsidiary autonomy in forty-two Turkish companies investing directly in Central Asia, Russia and Balkan countries. Literature exists on the size-autonomy relationship among subsidiary companies in developed economies but little focuses on developing economies. The findings of the study indicate that autonomy levels among subsidiaries of Turkish companies involved in outward direct investment are similar to those of subsidiaries from developed countries.Experience in the target market significantly affected the autonomy levels of subsidiary companies. The relationship between autonomy and size is differentiated depending on the decisionlevels involved.
