{"product_id":"9780762310593","title":"Internationalization of Research and Development and the Emergence of Global R \u0026 D Networks","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree important developments underscore the internationalization of R\u0026amp;D since the early 1990s. First, MNCs from North America, Europe and Japan have increased their cross-border investments in R\u0026amp;D. Second, the roles played by the overseas R\u0026amp;D facilities of these MNCs have evolved from primarily acting as \"technology transfer agents from the parent company to the host country\" to that of a \"resource for the development of technologies for the local, regional, and world markets.\" Third, MNCs are beginning to integrate their research activities on a global scale and a number of MNCs have established global R\u0026amp;D networks. This volume sheds light on the internationalization of R\u0026amp;D for research and technology management and international business scholars, industrial R\u0026amp;D practitioners, and government policymakers. Drawing on contributions from North American, European, and Japanese researchers, the volume addresses the above-mentioned three key developments and related topics on the internationalization of R\u0026amp;D, including investment motivation, location decision, R\u0026amp;D networks, and the management and organization of R\u0026amp;D.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015811973360,"sku":"9780762310593","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780762310593_p0.jpg?v=1763641044","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780762310593","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
