Preferred term

subsidiary  

Definition

  • The term subsidiary covers a range of organizational units and subunits, be they part- or wholly owned, foreign or domestic, acquisition or spin-off, formally or informally integrated. This term does imply significant legal ownership and a measure of control from the corporate headquarters (or upper) level of the organization, although, as already implied, contemporary parlance is to allow a broader range of relationships.
