Global R&D
Book Contribution - Book Chapter e-publication
Abstract:Knowledge, innovation, and R&D have always been an integral part of the discourse and analysis of multinational enterprise (MNEs). The ‘knowledge-based view’ of the multinational firm considers (technological) knowledge as the most critical resource of the firm, and sees the capacity of the MNE to source and recombine technological and market knowledge in key markets globally as the essential driver of competitive advantage. Operating geographically distributed R&D activities is central to such resource development and competitive advantages.
